Look through the trial and trust James 1:2-8

“trials” external hardships that test us “various” any hard circumstance “when” trials are inevitable “encounter” to fall into unexpectedly “when you encounter various trials”

“entire joy” “joy” is not “happiness” “...settled assurance...quiet confidence...determined choice.” Kay Warren “consider it all joy”

“entire joy” Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks... Joy is a choice to delight in God’s goodness even when life is falling apart “consider it all joy”

“consider it” choice to regard something to be true, even when it doesn’t feel true “consider it all joy” Hebrews 11:11 By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.

“consider it” choice to regard something to be true, even when it doesn’t feel true “consider it all joy”...[we are] as sorrowful yet always rejoicing... 2 Corinthians 6:10

“consider it” choice to regard something to be true, even when it doesn’t feel true “consider it all joy” The root of all sin is the suspicion that God is not good.

“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matthew 5:48

God’s purposes in trials “As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts.” 1 Chronicles 28:9

God’s purposes in trials For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been. 1 Kings 11:4

wisdom = applied knowledge living according to God’s true and eternal perspective ask God for wisdom

ask without conditions - ask in faith - - ask without “doubting” - ask God for wisdom “...to divide, to be at variance with one’s self...”
