James 1:2-3

Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles 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. NLT

Don't you wish and hope for a life that is full of ease? If everyday could be sunny, warm, and free from trouble. James says that when troubles come our way, we should consider it an opportunity for joy. During times of trials we become stronger and grow in maturity. This is a good thing, but too often we don't want it. Could i consider trials a joy, or as another translation puts it, can i "make trials my friend?" Don't miss out on an opportunity to grow and mature in your walk with the Lord through a trial.
