Yes, you read that right. Joy in trials. Hmph, that doesn't sound right. In the book of James, we read a beautifully written letter from James. James, the half brother of Jesus, tells us that we must find joy in our trials.
How does one do that? Well, think of a time when you really were going through a serious trial or problem. Did you hang on to Jesus? Or did you hang on and focus on the problem?
Finding joy in our trials can be..... well trying. But there is joy in every circumstance. We should respond with joy to trials because they are a test to see where we are in our walk with Christ!
Jesus had 3 REALLY bad and trying days. He still found joy in that time and forgave those who were hurting him. Can't we all find a little joy in our circumstances?
God Bless and Keep Smilin'
