—2 Corinthians 11:22-33

Paul boasted about experiencing tribulation after tribulation because they demonstrated God’s power. Some believe that being a Christian means never experiencing suffering or difficulties and then boasting about all the material things they possess. However, this understanding of Christianity is flawed. Jesus said, “In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, ESV). Do not be discouraged when difficulties come your way. Do not hide your adversities. Like Paul, boast about the things that show your weakness—God will get the glory.
