The Bible tells us that the Christian life comes with adversity, so the question is not IF but WHEN. And when adversity does explode into our lives, how will we respond as professing believers? Paul explains what our response should be in Philippians 4:4, "Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice." But finding joy in the midst of adversity is more easily said than done...unless our faith is truly fixed in Jesus Christ. Faith is about knowing the truth of God's character and promises, to the point that it affects how we live and respond to circumstances. The Bible tells us five things that we can know that will help us to find joy even in the midst of adversity.
