Tribulations

And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.   1 Samuel 10:19 

---

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.   Romans 5:3-5 

---

Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.   Ephesians 3:13 

---

So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:   2 Thessalonians 1:4
