Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. JAMES 1:2-4
What do you say to someone who is really going through testing? Job loss, business failure, wayward children, pending lawsuit, illness, death in family, or depression? It is hard to ever know what to say and sometimes it is best to just listen.
Struggles and trials are part of everyones life and God uses them to help you learn his nature, his character, and grow stronger. When you are in the midst of a struggle you often feel hopeless and see no way out. Some may get mad at God treating him like he is a genie who failed to come through. Look at those people on God’s Word who had trials and ended up victorious. 'Job' comes to mind.
So no matter what is happening in your life now ask God what he is wanting you to learn and also ask him to help you be strong and have the right response. Joy comes in the morning!
PRAYER:I thank you for times in my life where I had no other thing I could do but lean on you. I pray for those going through difficulties right now that they wholly lean on you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
