We all face times of trial and suffering (John 16:1–2, 33). Be assured that difficulties are not proof of sin or guilt (Luke 13:1–5; 2 Timothy 3:12). One may even suffer for doing good (1 Peter 3:13–17). Difficulties can produce benefits (Philippians 4:11–12; Hebrews 5:8–9; 2 Corinthians 12:9–10), and difficulties can be overcome (Isaiah 48:10; 1 Corinthians 10:13; 1 Peter 1:7; 4:15–16). This world’s afflictions are temporary (2 Corinthians 4:16–18) and do not compare with the glory of heaven (Romans 8:18) and the hope we have of eventual triumph (2 Timothy 4:6–8). Find solace and guidance in the timeless wisdom of the Bible, where every trial finds its match, and every affliction finds comfort.
