When Trouble Comes To Our Door

Send us Fan MailWhen Trouble Comes to Our DoorSometimes trouble enters our liveswithout warning.A difficult conversation.Bad news.A loss we did not see coming.And when these moments appear,we often ask:“How did this happen?”“Could this have been avoided?”“What do we do now?”First Epistle of Peter reminds us,“Beloved, do not be surprisedat the fiery ordealthat is taking place among you…”— from First Epistle of Peter 4:12The text does not teach usto love suffering.But it does remind usthat some challengesare part of life,and even in hardshipwe are still being formed.Earlier in the letter,our lives are compared to goldbeing refined by fire.And while the textdoes not encourage usto seek hardship,it does encourage usnot to collapse in fearwhen hardship comes.And to move through itwith courage,endurance,and trust.I’m Horace McMillon.This is 60 Seconds of Hope.Peace be with you.#60SecondsOfHope #DailyReflection #SpiritualEncouragement #Encouragement #HopeForToday #DailyHope #FaithAndLife #SpiritualGrowth #DailyDevotion #Discipleship #Hope #Faith #dailyinspirationSupport the show
