Enduring Trials
None of us like hurt, pain or suffering, particularly our own and yet this physical human life we are borne into contain that from the time of our birth right through to our death. Some of that suffering is caused by our own misadventures or even foolishness. Some of it is caused by time and chance events impacting upon us. Some of it happens because of the sin or wilful and hurtful actions of others. Regardless of the cause, as Christians we have been called to both endure or persevere through such events and to learn from them spiritual values of trust, faith and hope in God and His plan for us. At the end of the day all things work together to those who are the called for good because God is in charge of our lives and will not allow us to suffer beyond what we can bear. These studies focus both on the trials we endure as well as the reason why they happen.
