Another misconception is that all the problems that you will ever face have their answer and their description right there in the Bible. That's not true, either. And while I believe the principles for dealing with all life's problems are there, every situation we face in life is not addressed in the Bible and there are some things that happen that are mysterious to us. There is just no explanation, and so we are required to live by faith. Christians do suffer.
Christians do have trouble.
All of us have trouble whether we are Christians or not, but certainly Christians also have troubles. No guaranteed relief from calamity. That's exactly right. All you have to do is look at some the great men and women of scripture to know that even those servants suffered terribly. Look at the life of Joseph.
