Summary

For the last twelve years, Paul Tripp Ministries has emailed out our Wednesday’s Word devotional. We praise God that this little resource has been an encouragement to you at just the right moment.

Wednesday’s Word will continue, but our ministry is adding something new this year. On the first day of each month, we’ll record a longer article that allows Paul to write more extensively than he does in Wednesday’s Word.

We’re calling it Grace + Knowledge, and our prayer is that this new resource helps you “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” (2 Peter 3:18).

This month's Grace + Knowledge article is on the topic of suffering. Thank you for supporting Paul Tripp Ministries as we connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life!

1:08.0	Somehow, some way, at some point, suffering will come knocking on your door. It may start as a quiet, even gentle knock that gets
1:11.4	louder over time, and you know that you will eventually have to open the door. Other times, it may
1:16.3	kick the door down suddenly and violently. Perhaps Mr. Hardship will enter like the unwelcome he is,

1:27.3	residence in every room of your life indefinitely.. Hardship might barge in and take residence in every room of your
1:28.8	life indefinitely. When hardship will come, we don't know. How we will suffer may vary, but one
1:35.5	thing is for sure, suffering will come knocking. No matter how hard we try, we are unable to escape
1:41.9	the brokenness of the world that is our present address.
1:44.6	And no matter who we surround ourselves with, we are imperfect people living among other
