James 1:2 “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” Trials and tribulations are words that we do not like to hear. We all face different trials and tribulations. They come to us in every walk of life. Some of us will face financial trials for our entire life. Many will face physical trials or troubles. Maybe it is family or relationship trials. We all seem to have some “cross to bear.” Some people seem to believe that if you become a Christian, that all of your trials will go away. Some have called this the “prosperity gospel” which means that if you believe in Jesus, everything will be great! This type of belief is not found in Scripture. Quite the contrary. Jesus never told his followers that if they followed him, everything would be great or rosy. He told people that followed Him that it will be a difficult road. Trials will indeed come our way. If you are not facing a trial right now, Praise God! But be ready because one is sure to come your way. God never allows us to go through more than we can handle.
