Returning to the very practical book of James, we are looking today at faith under trial-will it stand-----We see first that our responsibility is in a believing heart-that heart that trusts in God. In trials, it-s our trust in God that drives us first to his Word, our primary source of wisdom.----We-ll also look at the example of Job, a man whose extreme trial is a source of many lessons for us. We learn that we need to run to God first in a trial, and that a trial may be solely for the glory of God-not in exchange for something we have done.----Prayer is key in trials, and here we need to learn the simple lesson of what is simple- ask, receive. So often we don-t ask and prefer to be independent. Let us rather, as James, says, ask without doubting and receive the wisdom we need for life-s trials-knowing God-s using these difficult times for his own good purposes and ours.
