Of Trials and Hopes

Romans 5:3-5
3 And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;
4and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
5and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.


1 Corinthians 10:13 tells us that God will not allow us to face more then we can endure. Keep this in mind.

Tribulation makes perseverance
Perseverance makes character
Character makes hope
Hope gets us through our tribulations (does not disappoint)

When problems arise in our lives, we can take comfort in the fact that God gave us the answer key inside of the problem. The solution is created by the problem! Hope's progenitor is tribulation. We serve an amazing God.
