🌼 Day 324 – 1 Peter 4–5 • Psalm 125

💖 In 1 Peter 4, Peter encourages believers to stay faithful and kind even when life feels difficult. He reminds them that love is powerful, covering mistakes and building strong friendships. 💞 When they use their gifts to serve others, they become part of God’s healing work in the world. Peter urges everyone to keep their hearts steady and thankful, trusting that God can turn even hard times into something beautiful. 🌷

🕊️ In 1 Peter 5, Peter gives gentle guidance to leaders and followers in the church. He teaches them to lead with care, not pride, and to serve with humble hearts. He also tells everyone to cast their worries on God, because He truly cares for them. Like a shepherd watching over sheep, God guards and strengthens His people through every season. 🐑

🌿 Peter’s final words feel like a soft hand on the shoulder, reminding us that humility and trust are the truest forms of strength. When we give our worries to God, we are not giving up but growing closer to His peace. Resting in His care is not weakness; it is the quiet courage of faith.

🏔️ In Psalm 125, the psalmist describes those who trust in the Lord as strong as mountains that cannot be shaken. God surrounds His people with safety and love, like walls of protection. 🩵
