1 Peter
Field Guide for Living the Good Life
God Trusts You
August 7, 2022 • John Challinor • 1 Peter 5:1–11
Living the good life is best experienced in humility. We know that the enemy wants to stir up cares, worry, anxiety and pride, so we give our lives to walk humbly under God as our strength in everything. We intentionally stand firm, in a posture of resistance to every distraction the enemy uses to take from us the gracious life we have in Jesus.
Suffering Well
