Such is Life

Sometimes life gets rough.

1 Peter 1:6, In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,

greatly rejoice means to be exceedingly glad, exuberantly jubilant. This kind of joy is not based on changing, temporal circumstances, but is used of joy that comes from the unchanging, eternal relationship with God.

There is no adversity that touches your life that God does not allow, permit and limit.

I believe that until a child of God learns to deal with adversity, he will be a confused child of God.

Besides, if you knew why you were having adversity, you might not want that adversity to be taken from you.

For God allows adversity in a person’s life to both correct you from sin and to enlarge your capacity to trust Him.

Guard that which has been entrusted to us.
