It is a message we oft hear, and sometimes forget, but from last week, this message has been coming to mind, reading through it in James 1, and then a message on Sunday noted the fact of how we see trials - as hurdles to be passed, or as opportunities for growth. Yet again today, a friend sent out an email about this same issue. And so, whatever you are going through, remember the Bible says to count it all joy right there in James 1v2.
"Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations.
Be assured and understand that the trial and the proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience.
But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing." James 1v2-4 (Amplified Bible)
--
And may the Lord's grace be always sufficient for you, and His strenght made perfect in weakness, in Jesus name, amen.
