Trials are a universal, human experience. We all face circumstances that challenge and test our beliefs about purpose, meaning, and God. How do you cope with trials as they come? Shockingly, James invites us to approach our trials as opportunities for joy. What if you had the capacity to rejoice in your suffering and pain, moving forward through them and only growing stronger in your faith and character because of them? That’s what James is saying is available to those who trust and follow Jesus into the valley.
