TSK · Acts 16:25

But no one says,‘Where is God, my Creator, who gives songs in the night,

Written by David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, causing the king to send him away. I will praise the LORD at all times; my mouth will continually praise him.

Pray to me when you are in trouble! I will deliver you, and you will honor me!”

In my time of trouble I sought the Lord. I kept my hand raised in prayer throughout the night. I refused to be comforted.

When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him honor.

In the middle of the night I arise to thank you for your just regulations.

Listen now, Joshua the high priest, both you and your colleagues who are sitting before you, all of you are a symbol that I am about to introduce my servant, the Branch.

Then he said to them,“My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.”

And in his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.]

Not only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair;

as sorrowful, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice together with all of you.

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my physical body– for the sake of his body, the church– what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ.

Always rejoice,

Joy in Trials My brothers and sisters, consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all sorts of trials,

This brings you great joy, although you may have to suffer for a short time in various trials.
