In a currently popular computer word game one of the categories is, "first-world problems." The answers can be humorous sometimes. Those answers can include such things as, "my bacon is cold" or "the pizza box won't fit in the refrigerator." It is true for many of life's circumstances that what is a "trial" for one person can be completely outside of the experience of someone else and may not be considered a trial anyway. Whether we are rich or poor, old or young, ignorant or well-educated, the experience of trials of one sort or another is commonplace in this fallen world. But does this mean that all trials are the same? Does this mean that trials have no particular purpose? For the Christian, trials can never be pointless or merely the cruel effect of an impersonal and harsh universe on us. In our text today, we see that suffering and trials, while commonplace, are not meaningless.
