Good morning, brethren in the family of God. The church is the household of God. It is the family of God. As we have the privilege of seeing a new day, we do not take our eyes from the word of God which is able to build us and to give us an inheritance among the saints. So, day by day we take pleasure in reading or listening to the teachings of the Word of God as it comes to us and make ourselves willing to obey the instructions and live according to the doctrines of the Word of God.
It is inevitable to think that tribulations will not come. Tribulations are part of our life on earth. Tribulations are the essential components that our Creator had wired into our making so that by them we might learn how to live and grow through life. Look at a baby. It is a tough thing for it to sit and crawl and then start walking. When it sees other people doing all thes life processes, there is a desire in him to do same but it won't come easy. So, the child will struggle through the limitations of not being able to move till it overcome. When it has finally overcome, it will become a stronger human.
So, tribulations are not somethings bad. There are meant to shape us, sharpen us and make us stronger. What should we do? We should fix our gaze on God. We should keep the word of God on our hearts and the obey them. We should watch and pray.
