Proving of your faith

James 1:2-4 amp. "Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations.  Be assured  and  understand that the trial and  proving of your faith bring out endurance  and  steadfastness  and patience.  But let endurance  and  steadfastness  and  patience have full play  and  do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing." As Christians, we will face various trials, just as the world faces trials. However, we have the Word of the Lord and the Spirit of God on our side, a great hope to look forward to. Sometimes these trials come in like a storm, strong and unpredictable. There will be times when we don't undersand why we are going through the trials, when we have been faithful to the Lord in all our ways. The trials come to test our faith, and to bring out a total trust in the Lord our God. Trials need to happen in order for our faith to be built up greater in Christ. They are to make one mature and complete, lacking in nothing, and developed into a faithful believer. Sometimes it is hard to count the trials as a joy, but remember they are here to bring forth perfection in us. Thank God for His will. Give Him Praise.
