(James 1:2-3 NKJV) My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, {3} knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
If we are in a trial today count it all joy. It may not seem or feel very joyful but God’s word tells us that our faith is being tested and it will produce patience in us.
This is a good thing because what happens to those who wait upon the Lord? (Isaiah 40:31 NKJV) But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
You see, it’s in times like this that our faith gets tested and brings us to our knees to pull on God even more. It’s in these times when we see God at work, and it builds our faith each time He delivers us out of our situation. It teaches us patience as we trust in Him.
Even in trials God will bring forth good!
