Joy through trials builds and reveals spiritual maturity.

James 1:2-4 Seat Bibles page 1011

2Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:2-4

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1 Peter 1:6-7

What has been your attitude in your most recent trial? During this time of reflection, please consider this question: What has been your attitude in your most recent trial?
