To our ears it sounds like a misnomer to say we want to be worthy to suffer. Truth is, we know we have something the enemy wants to destroy if we meet with conflict. We have seasons of joy, rest and basking in His love then there are times of battle. This is a war and we must be about His business and suffer the hardships without complaining.
Help me oh God to bear my cross with honor as you did.
James 1:2-3 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
