1Pe 5:10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.<\/p>\n
Many times a great shaking precedes great favor. Great difficulty precedes great promotion. Great opposition precedes great influence ( @joelOsteen)<\/p>\n
Apostle Peter was affirming and encouraging believers that the suffering they were facing was not going to last forever. After the suffering, they were going to be perfected, established, strengthened and settled. The God of all grace was going to make it possible because of their faith in Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
After the current shaking, the God of all grace will make us firm, strong and established. God will restore every valuable thing we have lost. He will establish you securely to place where you cannot be shaken. After you have suffered a little while, great and refreshing moments will come “knocking”.<\/p>\n
