Embracing Joy in Trials
Reading: James 1:2-8
Devotional: Life often presents us with unexpected challenges, yet James encourages us to "count it all joy" when we face trials. This counterintuitive approach reminds us that God uses difficulties to refine our faith and build our character. Today, reflect on a current struggle in your life. How might God be using this situation to develop patience and spiritual maturity in you? Ask the Lord for wisdom to see your circumstances through His eyes, trusting that He gives generously to all who ask. Remember, your trials are not punishments, but opportunities for growth and deeper reliance on God's strength.
