GAIN FROM PAIN Pain is an asset to be invested. Difficulties, trials, & tribulations are often the best resources for future gain. The ancients used an instrument called a “tribulum” (from which we get tribulation) to beat out the ripened grain & separate the wheat from the chaff. No farmer wastes his time & energy to run his “tribulum” over straw, chaff, or weeds, but to gain precious grain. Similarly, our Savior doesnt needlessly put us under the pressure of suffering & pain. No! “We also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; & perseverance, character; & character, hope” (Rom 5:3, 4). Don’t waste your pain, for it is a capital asset that has long-term value.
