James 1:2-3
[2] Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
[3] because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
MEDITATION:
Many of us have experienced an ordeal that seems to have triggered others afterwards.
The loss of a job, the death of a loved one, an unwanted divorce or a decline in health can all be part of it.
Even though a certain crisis may seem to affect us deeply, God remains sovereign and certainly at the controls. He wants to use tribulations to increase our resilience.
In this regard, James tells us to consider the various trials to which we may be exposed as a subject of complete joy, knowing that the trial of our faith produces perseverance.
The word « perseverance » means to have strength and stamina.
At the heart of the most important trials, let us remember that God is still at work, that He wants to use our experience to forge our character.
And thankfully, God has promised to give us the grace to overcome everything (read in 2 Corinthians 12: 9).
It is enough then to cross all our trials with God.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, give us the wisdom to recognize your will and the strength to resist in all the trials we go through.
It is in the precious name of Your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
