The Bible says in James chapter 1:2–4 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptation; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye maybe perfect and entire, wanting nothing”.
Beloved, we can’t really know the depth of our character until we see how we react under pressure.
It is easy to be kind when everything is going well, but can we still be kind when others are treating us unfairly?
God desires to make us mature and complete ( “perfect”), not to keep us from all pain. Instead of complaining about our struggles, we should see them as opportunities for growth. The book of James tells us to turn our hardships into times of learning. Tough times can teach us patience.
Thank God for promising to be with you in tough times. Ask Him to help you solve your problems or give you the strength to endure them. Then be patient.
God will not leave you alone with your problems; He will stay close by and help you grow.
Remain blessed.
