James 1:2,3

James 1:2,3 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Do you like to get into trouble? I don’t. But when Satan tempts you, God may be just testing you to make you stronger as a Christian. Do you have faith in God? Well how do you know? Has your faith been tested, as our verses tell? So how do you know how strong your faith is if it hasn’t been tested? But testing is hard. We don’t like to be tested. But testing is the only way that our faith is proven to be true. And, as our verses say, the trying of our faith works patience. We need our faith to be tested. We don’t like our faith to be tested, but we need our faith to be tested. Trust in the Lord and He will be with us as our faith is tested and as our faith grows stronger.
