When Trouble Comes to Our Door


Sometimes trouble enters our lives

without warning.


A difficult conversation.

Bad news.

A loss we did not see coming.


And when these moments appear,

we often ask:


“How did this happen?”

“Could this have been avoided?”

“What do we do now?”


First Epistle of Peter reminds us,


“Beloved, do not be surprised

at the fiery ordeal

that is taking place among you…”

— from First Epistle of Peter 4:12


The text does not teach us

to love suffering.


But it does remind us

that some challenges

are part of life,

and even in hardship

we are still being formed.


Earlier in the letter,

our lives are compared to gold

being refined by fire.


And while the text

does not encourage us

to seek hardship,


it does encourage us

not to collapse in fear

when hardship comes.


And to move through it

with courage,

endurance,

and trust.

Peace be with you.
