We rejoice in times of sufferings because we know that Jesus is with us even through our trials. That knowledge alls us to give total Praise and thanksgiving. As illustrated in Psalm 84 vs 6&7 the one who passes through the Valley of Baca goes from strength to strength. Our time of trial teaches us how to lean on Jesus more seeking his strength and wisdom in our daily walk. As we persevere in our walk our character grows and begins to reflect more of God's goodness and grace. We begin to live a life that is Christ centred and thus establish the foundation of our hope which is in Christ.
