Do You Suffer Well? 1 Peter 5:5-7 David Grantham

NOTES: Live victoriously for the Lord without: • Losing hope • Becoming bitter • Unrighteous anger • Damaging our witness

Live victoriously for the Lord with: • Trust in the Lord • Looking forward to His second coming

Four proper responses to persecution: 1. Expect it 2. Rejoice in it 3. Evaluate its cause 4. Entrust it to God

Obedience produces: • A calmness in our physical body • A clarity in our minds • A peacefulness in our demeanor • An inner assurance of harmony with God • A gentleness in our actions

Disobedience: • Is a stress multiplier • Compounds our anxieties • A waste of our life
