2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Trials and tribulations will come to each of us at one time or another. It’s inevitable. It’s just as much a part of life as joy and happiness.
Jesus himself told us that this would be so.
John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Some will say that life as a believer should be smooth sailing, and that believers should be exempt from such trials and trouble. God’s word doesn’t say that.
But here is what the word does say; that as we face each trial, we have the assurance that God will strengthen us and comfort us as we go through them.
So as we face those things that are before us, we can (and should) look to God for our comfort and our strength.
And remember that no trial lasts forever. He is our strength and our hope.
