In every adversity, there is an opportunity, and in every tribulation, there is a revelation.
When we believe in that, then more than just being optimistic, we will have hope in the midst of difficulties and challenges.
In the gospel, when Jesus taught that doctrine on the Bread of Life, and that He will give His flesh for the life of the world, many of His followers could not accept it.
They found it intolerable and after that many of them left Jesus and stopped going with Him.
Jesus then turned to the Twelve and asked them if they want to go away too.
The Twelve had to make a decision. What Simon Peter said not only gave them direction, but there was also a revelation.
Jesus has the message of eternal life and they believe it and they also believed that He is the Holy One of God.
When we decide for God and go with Him, then adversity is turned to advantage and tribulation will give way to a revelation and show us a direction.
