To rejoice in trials seems to be a contradiction, but it is the  greatest pathway to victory and experiencing divine intervention.

As believers, the Lord foretold us that in the world we would have  tribulations but that we should be of good cheers because He has  overcome the world (John 16:33).

This assurance from the Lord in principle proves that the joy of the  believer is not subject to good circumstances of life alone but it  springs from the Lord Himself. It is this joy of the Lord that produces  strength in the believer to face the issues and trials of life.

Paul, a man of God who knows more trials encourages the saints to  rejoice in the Lord always, and again he said, we should rejoice  (Philippians 4:4). He was no alien to trials and suffering, but in  Paul’s suffering, he was always rejoicing. Out of those moments of his  suffering in prison came some of the finest Epistles written in joy to  the churches.
