It is reasonable to Expect that things go well (from time to time).

 V. 1-2 When Life is going Well: 

• Peace-settled with God and with the World 

• Access-To an intimate relationship with God, because of His 

• Grace-unmerited favor that allows us room to breathe and live 

• See the Glory of God-from the distance to right here 

V.3  But When our World Falls Apart: 

• Glory in tribulations 

• Perseverance 

• Character 

• Hope (that does not disappoint)
