Often in scripture, we are encouraged to live out our faith with ENDURANCE. In walking through a season of pain and suffering, society encourages us to rely on our own understanding about pain and comfort, instead of leaning on God. Yet, when you allow your endurance to fully develop, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
In order to develop that endurance, we are often lead into EXPERIENCE, which oftentimes involves suffering. And it's in the experiences that we’re formed into new creations and are able to experience the closeness of His voice and a clearer understanding through His Word.
Experience is of greater importance than being delivered from tribulation. Why? Because it’s not having more knowledge of Christ that will make you fall in love with Him...it’s the knowledge of Him combined with the EXPERIENCE you have that brings power and life to who you are.
