Today I want to talk about how we can rejoice when we run into problems and trials. Now that sounds weird, but in vs. 3, Paul says we can even find joy in the hard things, the difficulties, and hardships. Why? Because God is at work, developing endurance, character, and hope in us. 1 Peter 1:6-7, and James 1:2-4 also say that we can rejoice in our problems because God is at work in them building our faith and character, perfecting us.
