Day 139: The Joy of Trials

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations of trials. I need to praise God that He counts me worthy of the trial. And let me bear in mind always that the trial is for my good. James explains how it’s going to me good and you good. Knowing this that the trying of your faith worketh patience, but let endurance have her perfect work. Don’t give up too quickly. That ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. What James is saying, if you’ll hold out, if you’ll go through the test, it will make you a complete, fully rounded Christian.
