James 1:2-8
You need wisdom in trials so you will not waste your suffering and miss the spiritual growth that should result.
When you trust God, trials work for you and not against you; but be sure your heart is wholly yielded to Him.
If your heart and mind are divided, trials will tear you apart.
Man’s Problem
Dismay – Isaiah 28:16
Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.
Sorrow – Isaiah 60:20
Your sun will never set again,
and your moon will wane no more;
the Lord will be your everlasting light,
and your days of sorrow will end.
Thoughts
. When you listen to God, He hears you. - Church sign
. The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting. Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading. - Oswald
Chambers
2 Corinthians 11:14
“And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”
While we wait for God's great victory for us to be fully realized, we also need to know that we are in a battle. God will win this battle through Jesus Christ. The final outcome is certain. Christ has already won the decisive battle.
However, let's not be fooled; the evil one will do everything he can to deceive all people and confuse the lost. Let's stick with God's plan — living his truth, listening for his voice in Scripture, and following the lead of his Spirit.
