“Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing.” James 1:2-4 AMP
Faith needs to be tested, it needs heat to be proved, to rise, to grow. If we’re not given the opportunity to exercise it we become faithless! So today is a reminder that if you’re facing any trials right now don’t panic! Put your faith into action, pray, worship, trust God in the process, it’ll grow spiritual muscle and you’ll stay faithful! Lord, thank You that You do use the trials of life to grow something lasting in me, as I put my faith in You. Help me to access that joy today that comes from knowing whatever I face You are working with me, in me, and through me for Your good purposes. Amen 👆🏼🙏🏼😅
