If you are not currently going through any suffering, then rejoice. Really! Just rejoice. And praise God for your current situation. Still, I hate to break this to you, but you are either coming out of one storm or you are headed into another. If you are having one of those nice intervals in life, then enjoy the interval. But hardship will come. We would rather avoid these things, but sometimes there’s no escaping them. Tragedy can happen so quickly, it boggles the mind. And when it hits, it opens your eyes. Everything changes. The way you see, the way you feel, the way you think — everything changes, and you can’t escape it. Suffering comes to every person and it will come to you. So prepare for it. It is not a matter of if suffering will come, but only of when and how much. So be prepared ahead of time.

“For man is born for trouble, As sparks fly upward.”
Job 5:7
