Trials and Temptations

Devotional verses : James 1:2-8

James 1:2

New International Version (NIV)

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds.

When we look at a work of art is like a painting, which first arises in our minds is the beauty that radiates from it, but have we ever imagine how beautiful the work was created.

All of them of course, only be produced by a person through a process of perseverance in work, in a fairly long period of time, which in time led to a perfect work, after work through out  observation and testing of quality as a follow-up of a process.

Similarly, in the course of our lives, God shapes us through a process since we are in our mother's womb, through the trials we face, so we considered perfect in His eyes.

Ecclesiastes 11:5
New International Version (NIV)
As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed[a] in a mother's womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.

Through our quality testing is said to have qualities as a person who has faith built upon a rock which produces perseverance and patience, as a result of the testing of your faith, which produce ripe fruit in the process toward perfection and holiness in the wisdom of God given to us through our Lord Jesus Christ, as a man who is generous of humility and have the heart that fear of God in spirit, banish doubt in our hearts because of doubt as ocean waves swayed to and fro by the wind and storm.

For God who made heaven and earth, through the awesomeness  of His power, in His arm span is full of power, is there something that is impossible in his eyes.? God bless.

Jeremiah 32:17
New International Version (NIV)
“Ah, Sovereign Lord, 
you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. 
Nothing is too hard for you.
