Philippians 1:29-30
For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.
Their suffering has been granted to them! The opposition they are facing has been given to them by God as an opportunity for them to bring Him glory in and through it! Do we view opposition in the same way?!
Like the Philippians and Paul, we are in conflict, not with God, not with the suffering, not with the opponents, but with the enemy who seeks to turn our eyes away from God through the suffering and/or opposition
