The Power of Tribulation

This life was designed for joy. Even in the midst of our fallen nature, I think Luther started experiencing this. We can recognize we're not like him and yet find joy that we will become like him as we stay faithfully connected to him. The invitation to me is instead of getting upset at heaven, shaking my fist at the Lord when things go wrong,. It's the invitation to say, whoa, let this tribulation work patience in your soul rather than getting filled with frustration and anger and impatience.
