Romans 5:3 NASB "And not only this, but we also celebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;"I don't know about you but reading the first part of today's verse has me wondering until I read the second part. No one ever really wants to celebrate the difficulties in life but if we do, we can find strength in the fact that we persevered! Having some health issues lately, I realized two options I had.  One being to give up and just lay around and two being to push through no matter what. I chose the second option and although the health issues are still there but getting better, I found strength in Christ to push on. Sure it's not easy but its possible. Keeping focus on moving forward, praying without ceasing, and being honest about my limitations helps me through the tribulations. It always comes down to choice so choose well my friends! peace, tom
