Scripture: James 1:2-3 (NLT)
"Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow."
"Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow."
Reflection:
Joy in trials seems like a contradiction, but James reminds us that difficulties are opportunities for growth. The hardships we face refine our faith, teaching us endurance. Our young sister in Christ, who battles an aggressive form of cancer, exemplifies this truth. She chooses faith over fear, joy over despair, trusting that God is using even her suffering for His glory.
Challenge for the Day:
Shift your perspective on challenges. Instead of seeing them as burdens, ask, “How is God using this to strengthen my faith?”
Prayer:
Lord, help me to find joy in the midst of my trials. Strengthen my faith and refine me so that I may grow in endurance and trust in Your perfect plan. Amen.
