And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:10 NIV
Earlier in this chapter, the writer is talking about standing firm in the faith and resisting the devil. He is letting his brothers and sisters in Christ know that they are not immune to suffering here on earth. But God promises to restore us and make us strong and steadfast.
We know this to be true. When we are tested we feel weak and vulnerable. But once we overcome our trials we can see how strong we really are. He made us steadfast. What a wonderful promise. Not only do we know he will bring us through, but we will be restored. Praise God for his faithfulness!
