All believers face affliction, of different varieties. For some, it is a physical affliction. For others, it may be a seemingly hopeless relational breakdown. For others, still, it may take the form of an irreversible and painful situation: the death of a loved one or a far-reaching financial calamity. The question is, how do you face your calamity. More important, still, how will you continue to face it. Ephesians 6:15 encourages us to be shod with shalom so that you can be prepared with peace that the gospel of Christ alone can provide.
