therefore, we ourselves speak proudly of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure. This is a plain indication of God’s righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering. For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, (2 Thessalonians 1:4-7 NASB)

A faith tested in trial is a faith worth trusting. Let us look to trials as an opportunity for strength and reliance on our God. We must remember he is all sovereign and just, especially in our pain.
