Wisdom for the Sons: The Necessity of Tribulation

Romans 5:3:  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worth patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope:

My sons, Christ made us more than conquerors and the Scriptures declare that.  However for many of us the tribulations of life seem to beat us to a point of just wanting to give up.  Let me tell you "Do Not Give Up!"  And this Scripture tells you why.  We must change our perception of tribulation knowing that we are eternal.  Though something may happen to this earthly tabernacle in "reality"  we are healthy, living and vibrant because we are born of God and in Him there is no sickness.  This requires a perception change for that to be a reality.  God uses tribulation to draw us closer and learn obedience and in tribulation the first thing we must learn is Patience.  God is not going to immediately do or deliver you from most things when He knows you struggle with patience.  You must have the confidence of the three Hebrew boys and knowing that in the midst of the fire (tribulation) YOU KNOW GOD CAN DELIVER AND EVEN IF HE DOESN'T YOU KNOW HE CAN!  That is the faith that we must have as we mature and God puts us through the fires of life to burn away our soulish nature.  

My sons, the Scripture say we glory in tribulation…..stand still be patient and expect God, your Father to deliver you His Son.
