Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you. For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.

As Christians we often face situations in our relationships with others, whether they are in the faith or not. This reading plan will give you clear guidelines on how to identify problematic people and how to deal in a mature way with them, what to do with those who hurt you and how to handle yourself and manifest Christ in the midst of different situations with wisdom.
Sometimes when we least expect it, God reveals Himself to us. It may happen in a supernatural way, as with Moses and the burning bush. Other times, it may be through the most ordinary circumstances. And occasionally, we’ll meet Him in the midst of the fire of testing. But wherever we meet Him, that place is holy ground.
