To rejoice in times of trouble is much more than a grin-and-bear-it attitude. It’s much more than a time of tough-it-out-and-see-how-much-you-can-take. It’s much more than a time of just-hang-in-there-and-don’t-let-anything-get-you-down. One of the biggest reasons we don’t always understand the reason and purpose of God in allowing us to go through trial is because we are looking backward: “What did I do back there in my past to deserve this kind of trouble?” But God is always looking forward: “What great blessing can this child of Mine know in the future because of this present difficulty?”
--Rocky Henriques
The Bible says that rejoicing is to be our response to trouble, simply because we know we are experiencing only what our Heavenly Father is allowing, and that He is allowing the pain and trouble for our good.

God is there to meet you in the center of all your trials, and to whisper His secrets, which will make you come forth with a shining face and an indomitable faith that all the demons of hell shall never afterwards cause to waver.

However low I may sink, there is not a depth but grace goes deeper.

Q: How did you get started with your greeting card designs?
A. I browsed around Greeting Card Universe and looked for a market that was largely neglected--though there were a few Christian cards, there were not very many. There were plenty of "adult" cards, and cards for homosexuals, but there were not very many cards with Scriptures on them, or cards with a strong Christian message. There were a few, but not very many in proportion to the others. I determined to change that. As a believer, I thought it would be great to counter-balance the influence there with cards of encouragement and hope. However, in keeping with the idea of providing a wide range of cards, there are also cards without any mention of Scripture or Christian themes, yet wholesome and inspiring just the same.

Knowing What The Saddle Is For
We’re told that it is a very frightening experience for a wild horse to feel a saddle on his back for the first time. Some horses react with anger. They rear back and kick and struggle to get away. Their nostrils flare, their eyeballs roll back, and panic takes over. But other horses are so afraid that they can’t move. They just stand in one spot as though frozen, shaking and trembling like a leaf on a tree.
Many Christians are just like that. Take a good look at yourself. When something unpleasant or threatening happens, do you react with anger, lashing out at other people, even at God? Perhaps something has occurred which you cannot control or change, and you’re so angry about it that you are determined someone is going to pay for your discomfort. You say, “God, You did this to me!” or you ask, “God, why did You let this happen?” Or do you react with such fear that you are essentially immobilized? You’re afraid to step one way or the other, thinking that if you do anything you’ll make a fatal mistake.
The mature Christian, the one who is constantly growing in Christ, can be compared to a horse which has learned to trust his trainer, and knows what the saddle is for. He knows that when the saddle of trouble and difficulty is suddenly thrust upon him, it is there for a purpose. That purpose may be known only to our Heavenly Father, but as long as He knows it, the mature Christian doesn’t kick and rebel.
