The Apostle James had a powerful revelation about trials and tribulations. He was joyful in the midst of trials because he knew that these tests produced endurance, spiritual maturity and inner peace. He also knew that this is the way to develop strong, completely developed faith. James 1:2-4 (AMP) says “Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing”. So if you are experiencing tests and trials, be assured that this process will help to mature you in your faith, spiritual maturity and inner peace. Wow, are you ready to be joyful in the midst of your trial?
