What are your views on tribulation? Now, I’m not talking about the tribulation that’s mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Rather, I’m talking about tribulation in your life. Is it something you want? Most likely not. But do you realize that, without it, you’ll never truly achieve patience, nor experience, nor hope, nor the love of God. So, to get to where the Lord wants to get us, we need to allow Him to allow those times in our life. In other words, we have to consciously determine that we’ll obey Him as He does whatever is necessary to bring us into the likeness of Jesus.
