Joy and trials seems like an oxymoron and a direct contradiction. You may be asking what on earth is joyful about hardship, difficult times and challenging circumstances. We can be encouraged in times of tribulation because God’s strength is giving us the power to continue on. As our faith is tested and we rely upon Him we will persevere. God is still moving even in the moments when you have the smallest amount of faith. He will give us the stamina to keep pressing and not give up. Though you may become weary at times find delight in knowing He will be your strength as you go through and bring you out more resilient.
