James 1:2
“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;”
What it means
It sounds strange to welcome hard seasons, yet James is not asking us to enjoy pain. He is inviting us to trust what God is doing inside it. Trials test our faith and, over time, grow a patience and steadiness we could never gain in comfort. God wastes nothing. In Jesus, who suffered and rose, we see that the cross is never the end of the story. So when troubles pile up, you can lift your head, knowing your Father is shaping you and holding you through every one.
Read it, pray it, live it
On The Living Bread you can read the whole chapter, save this verse, ask Simon to explain it, pray it over your life, and share it with someone who needs it today.
