My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; (...James 1:2)
Are you facing any trials or temptations today?
I myself am not. But that doesn't mean that I won't be at some point today. After all, where I am, it is only going on 8 a.m. It is still early. But notice that Paul does not end that verse at 2. Check out verses 3 &4.
knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
We go through the trials and temptations we do for a reason. Sometimes when we don't understand why. If we don't go through them, how can we expect our faith to grow?
We do not like them, do not want them. And generally would not ask for them. But we need them to see the work of Jesus come alive in us.
I truly hope you aren't facing some trial in your life today. And maybe you aren't, but before the day is over, you and I could be. But when our next one comes, no matter when that is, will we get through it better people because of it, or maybe cursing God because we blame him for it.?
The first step is to be joyful. Knowing God is doing a work in us.
It's up to us.
