Daily Bible Verse

"My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing."(James 1:2-4 )

How many times have I said, oh Lord why this, why now? Here is the answer. I need this trail to become complete and mature. With every trail, I have grown closer with the Lord and have come to trust Him more willingly and quickly than I ever have before. It is hard for us to ask for “lessons”, but without them we are unable to grow. Do we believe that by asking the Lord to teach us endurance that all He will provide is trails. There are lessons to be learned even in joy. Just remember that whether it be joy or trail, the Lord’s hand is on it and we will be blessed because of it. We should take joy in knowing our Lord never leaves us and is always there with us, teaching us, growing us, loving us.
