The book of James gives us practical instructions on how to deal with everyday trials. Though trials will come to test our faith, perseverance is being developed in us and our faith is being strengthened in this process. Every test that comes our way is an opportunity to trust God more. Choose to count every trial as joy!

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. James 1:2-3 (NIV)
