Daily Devotion 2012/09/26

Actually, I rareeely post my daily devotion
However my current study on 1 Peter does interest me so much

Here we go, 1 Peter 2:19

For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

Thankworthy/ Grace (charis) : Grace, of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues
Conscience (suneidesis): the consciousness of anything
Endure (hupophero): to bear patiently
Grief (lupe): sorrow, pain, grief, annoyance, affliction
Suffering (pascho): in a bad sense, to suffer sadly, be in a bad plight
Wrongfully (adikos): unjustly, undeserved, without fault

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For this is thank-worthy - Margin, "thank." Greek, "This is grace," (χάρις charis). Doddridge renders the expression, "This is graceful indeed." Various interpretations of this expression have been proposed; but the meaning evidently is, that it is acceptable to God, (see 1 Peter 2:20, "this is acceptable to God" - χάρις παρὰ Θεῷ charis para Theō;) that is, this will be regarded by him with favor. 

It's such a grace if someone, with their own consciousness towards GOD, they bear anything that hurts, causes pain and sorrow, due to something unjust

Judgement is not in human's hands, it's in God's
Never be a judge
Endure affliction because of God
Nothing ever slip aways from His eyes, so maintain your integrity under pressure
