—James 1:2-12
by: Lisa Moore.
I am sure we would all fervently declare that we love God. I am also confident we are all eager to receive the crown of life. But are we joyfully accepting the testing of our faith? We quote, “Count it all joy when you meet trials” (v.2, ESV), but do we mean it? The test is necessary to produce the endurance required to remain steadfast. When you experience a trial, let the faith God deposited in you arise and watch your will bend in conformity to His. Do not give up! If you failed one test, another is coming! Know that God’s plan is not to harm you but to bring you to an expected end.
