1 Peter 4:19āFirst Century Believers Knew God Allows No Accidents. āTherefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creatorā.
In this one verse we can see that the content of the entire letter of 1 Peter is summarized.Ā We as believers do not suffer accidentally nor do we go through affliction because of some irresistible forces of fate. Rather, each time we suffer it is always and only according to Godās will.
Thatās why we want to daily renew our surrender to God. The word Peter used, translated ācommitā literally means āto entrust yourself for safe keeping.ā Ā If our God can oversee the countless galaxies of our Universe, and the constant ebb and flow of the tides of the seas, He certainly is able to personally walk me through any trials Iāll ever face in my lifetime.
