Trials (2 Chronicles 28:22 - James 1:2-4)

2 Chronicles 28:22



New International Version (NIV)

 
22 In his time of trouble King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the Lord.




Difficulties and struggles can devastate people, or they can stimulate growth and maturity. For Ahaz, deep troubles led to spiritual collapse. We do not need to respond like Ahaz. When facing problems and tragedy, we must remember that rough times give us a chance to grow (see James 1:2-4 below). When we are facing trials, don't turn away from God; turn to Him. See these times as an opportunity for you to claim God's help.

 

James 1:2-4



New International Version (NIV)
 
 

Trials and Temptations

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
