       Our hope, then, is that we can fasten our anchors to Jesus, who is stable and sturdy, so that the water (which represents the instability of life) won’t be a concern for us. Now, to the part we don’t particularly care for. Romans chapter 5, verse 3: “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (Romans 5:3-5, ESV). We rejoice in our sufferings. We rejoice in our sufferings. We know we all experience sufferings, many of which pertain to the normal, daily living of this world. There can be money problems, relational issues, employment hardships, bodily diseases, whatever it be, there can be all kinds of worldly troubles. And sometimes God will use these things to teach us things.
