Tribulation

“Tribulation worketh patience.” A maxim only understood by those who live it. To be grateful for tribulations is not some self-righteous statement begging for praise, but a true heartfelt expression only understood by those who laying in the gutter, “learn to look at the cars.” (Neal Peart) “And patience worketh experience, and experience hope.” Hope, the beacon of the night. How blessed are those who have it, and destitute those who do not. “God will not have his work manifested by the coward,” (Emmerson) or the unbelieving. The work on God is manifested through those who have hope, those blessed few who through tribulation have learned to be grateful, humble and submissive.
