Persevere In Trials.
October 4, 2020
Just Do It, Part 2
It's interesting that James begins his letter with the subject of life’s difficulties, writing: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds.” How can, and for what reason would anyone face their trials...with joy?
“When I see the end of the process, the process itself
can be a reason for joy.”
Scripture:
James 1:2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Highlights:
• Trials are often unexpected.
• Trials come in an endless variety.
• Trials, when they come, serve as a test.
• Trials are a way to discover the depth of our faith.
• Trials are a way to strengthen our faith.
• When I see the end of the process, the process itself can be a reason for joy.
