“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.” James1
Trials are said to be a test of faith, because if you are a Christian, everything in life is a test of faith. God has promised His companionship in good times and bad, during prosperity and poverty. In fact, He is our constant companion all day, every day. This means that our faith is always being exercised and strengthened because without it there can be no interaction with Him. God is always seeking ways to strengthen our spiritual muscles. Conversations Within” ts 3/21/2014 (Hayneville, AL)
