Day 282 of 365
Count It All Joy
James 1:2-3
James 1:2-3
“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.”
Reflection
Joy in trials isn't natural—it's supernatural. James says consider it joy. This is a choice, not a feeling. Why? Because trials produce perseverance. They strengthen faith. They deepen character. Trials aren't enemies to avoid but opportunities to embrace. They're not fun, but they're fruitful. Count it joy. Not because the trial is good, but because God is working through it. He's producing something valuable. Choose joy in the trial.
