Charles R. Swindoll Quote
Tribulation brings about perseverance. Thlipsis cultivates hypomon which means remaining under in the literal sense and patiently enduring in the figurative. Naturally, when the pressure builds we should take reasonable measures to relieve the discomfort. No one is suggesting we volunteer for pain or ignore the opportunity to eliminate it. But sometimes there is no solution, no remedy, no relief. Sometimes we cannot avoid or escape the pressure. When that happens, we deliberately choose to remain under and to do so with graceful and calm dignity.
