Faith Above All Things

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.  James 1:2-3 KJV 

The trials of life come more often than we like.

They bring temptations that can lead us to do something wrong or unwise.

Making the situation more frustrating. 

Causing us more harm than good.

That’s when we have to remember that the Lord has told us these times would come.

That trials and temptations would test our faith.

How we handle difficult experiences or problems.

A way of showing us that we should find happiness in it.

Happiness because it shows us our ability to acknowledge the truth of God’s Word  and keep the faith.  

Taking into account that by staying steadfast in the Word, He gives us the ability to tolerate anything we can ever face or go through in life.

Counting it as a reason for joy.

A joy because we learn how to face all that we encounter.

That the trying of our faith in God is His way of molding and preparing us for our journeys in life.

A WORD OF PRAYER

Lord, we know you allow us to go through some things to test our faith.  May we pass them by remaining calm, knowing that there is always joy in the end. That You are keeping us ready for anything that comes our way. Thank You for the love and care. For giving us the skills and knowledge to beat temptations.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen
