James 1:2-8

Trust God alone. Trust Him knowing that all things work out for good to those who place their trust in Him. Satan and all its evil would love to destroy us but greater is God and He will save us, perfect us through the trials that the world gives us, and turn what was meant to destroy us into His perfect will for our life. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, just knock and the door will be opened to you!


Troubles and difficulties are a tool which refines and purifies our faith, producing patience and endurance. The meaning of patience transcends the idea of bearing affliction; it includes the idea of standing fast under pressure, with a staying power that turns adversities into opportunities. The wisdom of God begins with a genuine reverence for the Almighty and a steadfast confidence that God controls all circumstances, guiding them to His good purposes. If one part of a person is set on God and the other is set on this world, there will be constant conflict within.

James 1:2-8

2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
