With what posture shall Christians endure? --

With heads held down fearfully, merely trying to outlast suffering and abuse?
Or with heads held up confidently, persevering in doing good, to God's glory?

Jesus said, "Your are the light of the world. ... [L]et your light shine" (Matt. 5:14, 16)!

So, heads up! We have a calling. "Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good" (1 Peter 4:19).
