1 Peter 4:12 (NRSV) — 12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal 

that is taking place among you to test you, 

as though something strange were happening to you.

1 Peter 4:12 (The Message) — 12 Friends, when life gets really difficult, 

don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t on the job.

Psalm 94:14 (NRSV) — 14 For the Lord will not forsake his people; 

he will not abandon his heritage;

Psalm 94:14 (The Message) — 14 God will never walk away from his people, 

never desert his precious people.

You can abandon yourself to Jesus because He will never abandon you!

Hallelujah!
