The things we try to avoid and fight against'tribulation, suffering, and persecution'are the very things that produce abundant joy in us. 'We are more than conquerors through Him' 'in all these things'; not in spite of them, but in the midst of them. A saint doesn't know the joy of the Lord in spite of tribulation, but because of it. Paul said, 'I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation' (2 Corinthians 7:4).
