FRUITFUL in AFFLICTION

If you don’t see God as faithful, you will never see adversity as useful. Conversely, when we see God as faithful, we see every circumstance as the grounds to be fruitful. Consider the life of Joseph in the Old Testament and how he named his 2nd born child as a reflection of the fruit of his affliction  >> And the name of the second he called Ephraim: "For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction" (Genesis 41:52).
