Tailor-Made Grace To Fit Your Need
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. James 1:2-3
That sounds wrong, doesn’t it?! Our natural reaction is to have joy when we escape a difficult circumstance, not when we encounter it. James isn’t saying that we have to be excited about challenging days, but he is saying that there is joy and growth to be found in the middle. Joy is not the absence of suffering, but in the presence of God.
Whether you’re facing health concerns or financial worries, God has wisdom and grace that are tailor-made to fit your need.
