James 1:2-4    My brothers, you will always have your trials but, when they come, try to treat them as a happy privilege; you understand that your faith is only put to the test to make you patient, but patience too is to have its practical results so that you will become fully developed, complete, with nothing missing.

Great and wonderful are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty!

Just and true are your ways, O King of the ages!

Who shall not fear and glorify your name, O Lord?

For you alone are holy.

All nations shall come and worship you, for your judgments have been revealed.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10   I shall be very happy to make my weaknesses my special boast so that the power of Christ may stay over me, and that is why I am quite content with my weaknesses, and with insults, hardships, persecutions, and the agonies I go through for Christ’s sake. For it is when I am weak that I am strong.

Rejoice in the Lord, all the earth, and serve him with joy.

Exult as you enter his presence.

Know that the Lord is God.

He made us and we are his people, the sheep of his flock.

Cry out his praises as you enter his gates, fill his courtyards with songs.

Proclaim him and bless his name; for the Lord is our delight.

His mercy lasts forever, his faithfulness through all the ages.

James 3:17-18   The wisdom that comes down from above is essentially something pure. It also makes for peace, and is kindly and considerate; it is full of compassion and shows itself by doing good; nor is there any trace of partiality or hypocrisy in it. Peacemakers, when they work for peace, sow the seeds which will bear fruit in holiness.

Now have come the salvation and might and kingdom of our God, and the power of his Anointed, for the accuser of our brethren has been brought down, who accused them day and night in the sight of God.

But they vanquished him through the blood of the Lamb and through their own witness.

They did not cling to life, even in the face of death.

Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them.
