SCRIPTURES OF THE DAY
James 1:2-4
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
It is not an easy task when your faith is tried. At times it can shake the very foundation of your world. But the scripture tells us to count it all joy. Wow! Is it me or do the things that we are instructed to do in the Bible sometimes seem not to make a lot of sense. When my world is crumbling and my faith is on trial I am told to count it all joy. How can I possibly do this? By trusting God! When we are tryed it works patience in us. This is an area where most of us need a little if not a lot of work. The 4th verse says to let patience have her perfect work. If we allow our trials to work patience in us then we become complete. Have you ever thought about the work that patience do? Why do you think so many people lack patience? It's a hard area to conquer. Patience is like the last piece of a puzzle. It completes you and leaves nothing lacking.
I encourage you to work with your trials not fight against them. Allow patience to work in you while facing each trial. When patience is finished working within you you will find that the puzzle will be complete.
My prayer is that you not get anxious when your faith is tryed but that you allow patience to work on and within you that you may become complete and lack nothing. .
