Count it all Joy?

How’s your attitude about trials?

“I never had a trial I wanted to have, but I never had a trial I wasn’t glad to have” – Jack Hyles

Two things trials do:

1. Trials help us .

2. Trials help us .

“putting our faith in Christ is not about trying harder; it means transferring our trust away from ourselves and resting in Him”

James 1:2-8 ESV
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
