There are several good qualities used to describe people. Some people can be sincere, trustworthy, intelligent, etc. Of all the qualities out there, one quality I believe is often overlooked is resilience. We all face adversity. There is a light at the end of the tunnel if we work through tough times. The sufferings we face now will look small when we consider the reward that is awaiting us someday.

Romans 8:18 says, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”

Resilience is relevant to life as a Christian. There will always be trials that will test our faith.  We might be faithful when things are going well. What happens when things are the opposite?  Do we lose our faith and fold up or do we stand up to adversity and face it head on? What type of backbone do we have? It is key for us to be resilient in our faith. If we are resilient in our faith, we can withstand adversity that will test our faith. If we display resilience, we can work through any situation. It takes discipline to make it happen.

Hebrews 12:11 says, “For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.”

As we go through each day, let us show resilience in our faith in the face of adversity!
