Tribulations are commonplace in the world. It is a common experience in our everyday life. We are suffering from different kinds of unfavorable situations in life. There is insecurity in the world today. That has brought a form of tribulation to many people and families on earth. There is much hunger due to economic hardship. That too is another form of tribulation. There is no peace in the world because almost every aspect of our life is full of tribulations.
The Lord Jesus Christ had told us before now that in the world we will see tribulations. He was saying this to his disciples; his followers. We should bear it in mind that there shall be tribulations which we are going to pass through as christians.
Tribulation is like fire. The fire has its benefits. There are tremendous benefits from fire. Fire helps in processing raw materials into useful products. Tribulations are refining our lives so that we could be better people.
