One day C. H. Spurgeon was walking through the English countryside with a friend. As they strolled along, the evangelist noticed a barn with a weather vane on its roof. At the top of the vane were these words: GOD IS LOVE. Spurgeon remarked to his companion that he thought this was a rather inappropriate place for such a message. “Weather vanes are changeable,” he said, “but God’s love is constant.”
“I don’t agree with you about those words, Charles,” replied his friend. “You misunderstood the meaning. That sign is indicating a truth: Regardless of which way the wind blows, God is love.”

The apostle Peter sent out an epistle that the early Christians would face various trials. We must remember that Nero at the time was burning some Christians while they were staked in his garden. The message from the inspired hand of Peter was that whatever the trial, it is possible in Christ to rejoice.
When it comes to difficulties in this life, our greatest resource is the power of God. Let’s always tap into it and never, under any circumstances, forget it.
Give it some thought.
