"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." -James 1:2-4 (NASB)
Working around the house reminds me that sometimes when we are completing projects, things don't always go as planned. We can be forced to figure things out, stick with it, and work until the project gets completed. In the end, we can learn from the complications we experience and be better prepared for other projects in the future. Our journey through life and our spiritual growth are the same way.
We can encounter situations or people that produce trials in our lives. God knows that we will encounter these trials, but He also knows that we need challenges and trials in order to grow. When we have faith in God and call on Him, He will provide for us and help us through our trials. In the end, when we hold onto our faith, we will come closer to God for having endured the earthly trials and we will have taken a step toward completeness and perfection through God's grace and mercy!
When the going gets tough, call on God and endure the trials with His support!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and being with me even when I am facing challenges and trials. Help me to remember to call on You and keep my faith in You as I endure the earthly struggles that will bring me closer to Your glory. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
