The lyrics of an uplifting hymn read, "Count your blessings, name them one by one, and you will discover what the Lord has done." The trials and tribulations of life can be very discouraging until we realize that adverse circumstances test the genuineness of our faith (which is more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire). Faith that endures results in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:7).
