James 1.1-12 Count It All Joy Part 2

James 1.1-12 Count It All Joy Part 2 James 1:1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. 9 Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, 10 but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away. 11 For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits. 12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. In these last verses of Part 2 we will see the following things. V5 Count on God in your Trials, V9-11 Consider the Way You React to Trials, V12 Consider the Rewards of your Trials. God wants us to know that trials are a part of life and when we go through them there are steps to take to successfully come out on the other side of them as a victor and to also become a better person through them. Plus the more we go through, the more we find that God is a trustworthy God and how much He really loves us.
