I feel like Im going through a spiritual trial right now . God is testing me , to see if I am really trusting in him , and willing to hold on. One of the best tests of Christian growth and maturity is trouble. When a believer goes through personal trials, they discover the kind of faith they really possess. Trials not only reveal our faith, but they also develop our character. The book of James is written to show us that God is trying to produce in us the kind of faith that overcomes. The trying of your faith worketh patience. Patience is enduring faith, faith with staying power. Verses 1-12 are speaking of the trials and tests that come into our lives from outside circumstances. God is trying to produce in every Christian faith that overcomes, that endures, that has staying power. Far too many Christians fall by the wayside when temptations and trials come. God is trying to produce an inward change by allowing and even ordaining outward trials to build in us an overcoming faith. He wants us to understand that trials in the Christian life are not unique. They are for every Christian. If you are going through trials right now, realize that God is not punishing you !!! He has a purpose!!! Jesus , I will cling to you and worship you all the days of my life. I have tried a life without you , and it made me miserable. I have tried a life WITH you , and found everything that I had been searching for to make my life complete and meaningful . Praise your Holy name !!! Now and forever . Amen.
