Jas 1:2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, Jas 1:3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
What does the Apostle James mean by this, that we should count it all joy when we encounter trouble? James goes on to tell us about God, that he is the Father of lights and that we are begotten with the word of truth. He goes on to tell us to be slow to anger and don't forget who we are in Christ. Then he tells us to bridle our tongue and warns us not to become contaminated with the world. As we take a closer look at these verses and also Psalms 46, I hope this helps us further understand what it means to live and walk in faith.
