There are times when trials come upon us in life. The bible has guidance for us and encouragment for theses times. So then, my beloved brethen, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not prouduce the righteousness of God. James 1:19
We all have certain ways of dealing with trials. During these days God has moved my heart to see these times as a teaching moment. How I can give my heart more completely over to Him. My brethen, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:2-4
We are all here for such a short while. What we do with our time, our possessions, our love and what we leave behind can last for eternity. To keep in perspective of what I worry about and where I spend my time is an ever increasing thought process for me. Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love HIM. James 1:12
But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. James 1:14
Just some perspective for the moment.
