TSK · 1 Peter 1:6

Hannah Exalts the Lord in Prayer Hannah prayed,“My heart has rejoiced in the LORD; my horn has been raised high because of the LORD. I have loudly denounced my enemies. Indeed I rejoice in your deliverance.

Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts; in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance.”

With all my strength I will say,“O LORD, who can compare to you? You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them.”

Come! Let’s sing for joy to the LORD! Let’s shout out praises to our protector who delivers us!

I know, LORD, that your regulations are just. You disciplined me because of your faithful devotion to me.

to strengthen those who mourn in Zion, by giving them a turban, instead of ashes, oil symbolizing joy, instead of mourning, a garment symbolizing praise, instead of discouragement. They will be called oaks of righteousness, trees planted by the LORD to reveal his splendor.

Though he causes us grief, he then has compassion on us according to the abundance of his loyal kindness.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Savior,

Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names stand written in heaven.”

I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble and suffering, but take courage– I have conquered the world.”

through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of God’s glory.

For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.

For our momentary, light suffering is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison

Are they servants of Christ?(I am talking like I am out of my mind!) I am even more so: with much greater labors, with far more imprisonments, with more severe beatings, facing death many times.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

For we are the circumcision, the ones who worship by the Spirit of God, exult in Christ Jesus, and do not rely on human credentials

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, when you received the message with joy that comes from the Holy Spirit, despite great affliction.

Endure your suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline?

Now the believer of humble means should take pride in his high position.

Such trials show the proven character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold– gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away– and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Dear friends, do not be astonished that a trial by fire is occurring among you, as though something strange were happening to you.
