1 Peter 5:10
PERFECTOR
“After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.”
I love knowing God is the One who will PERFECT me! I could never do it on my own. But knowing that HE has taken it upon Himself to perfect me, gives me confidence and joy. What about you? Does looking heavenward at the PERFECTOR of your soul encourage you and cause you to praise Him?
Lord God, thank You for not only calling me to Your eternal glory in Christ, but for also taking it upon Yourself to PERFECT me. I love You and give You praise!

GOD of ALL GRACE
“After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.”
1 Peter 5:10
Do you feel a bit dischelved? Perhaps incomplete or imperfect? Do you ever feel a bit shaky or wish you were stronger in your convictions and stable in your walk with the Lord? Do you ever wonder how God could love and forgive you? GRACE. The answers to our questions are summed up in that one word. Notice that 1 Peter 5:10 doesn’t say that we will one day pull ourselves up by our boot straps and viola, we’ll be perfect, confirmed, stengthened, and establised. Rather, the verse states, “God Himself will.” The God of all grace has called us to His eternal glory in Christ and He will finish by grace what He began in grace. Remember: He’s the God of ALL grace.
GOD of all GRACE, I love You and praise you! Thank You for calling me to eternal glory in Christ. Thank you for taking it upon Yourself to complete what You began – my perfection, confirmation, strengthening, and establishment in Christ Jesus.
