Read James 1:1-8

I’ve been studying the book of James in the Bible and it
talks about trials and how we are supposed to consider trials -- “joy”. Not
that we are happy or joyful when have to go through them, but we should look to
the hope and joy that will come at the end of the trial or sometime in the
future.
According to James, trials are needed to:
*Build perseverance and endurance
*As we work on perseverance and endurance, we grow more
spiritually mature
What can help us during the trials?
*drawing close to God
*Asking God for wisdom
*Believing and trusting whole-heartedly in God
Are you going through a trial right now? How can looking to future joy help?
