TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE:

Romans 5:3–5

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, [4] and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, [5] and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. (ESV)

SUMMARY

We read Romans 5:3–5 and sit with the hard command to rejoice in suffering, even when every instinct pushes back. We trace how God uses trials to produce endurance, shape character, and grow a hope anchored in the Holy Spirit’s love. 

• reading Romans 5:3–5 and why it matters 
• naming how suffering clashes with human nature 
• remembering our inward focus and the need to look to God 
• learning to think differently through the Holy Spirit’s power 
• walking the path from suffering to endurance to character to hope 
• seeking joy with understanding rather than denial 
• closing with prayer for strength, hope, and a deeper sense of God’s love
