James 1:2-4
New International Version (NIV)
Trials and Temptations
2 Consider
it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of
many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of
your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let
perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not
lacking anything.
As a continuation of the trials and stumbles topic….
Because we all have to go through trials no matter
who we are or how good we are in life, we all are subject to going through
trials. The difference between our trials and those who are not saved trials is
that we will bear good fruit when we go through the trial-that is if we go
through it correctly.
The Lord tells us to be joyful when trials come our
way because we are building our faith and bring us into our “own” in our walk
with Him. He does not place trials in our lives to break us to the point of
depression or anxiety, but to break off our old habits of handling situations.
Some may say “why do we have to go through trials?” I have learned that it is
necessary to go through tough times because it is how we learn to handle
circumstances that someone else may be going through that you now have the
answer to help them with. Everything we go through is a testimony that will
help others come to Christ and learn to be Kingdom minded as well as helping
other Christians with trials that they are going through.
