Our insurance company refused to renew our homeowners’ policy unless we replaced the roof. Their aerial photo indicated a dark area on the back. I panicked. How much would a new roof cost? Was there time before the policy expired? As I walked through the kitchen, the Holy Spirit whispered in my heart: “All you have belongs to God. The house, the furniture — and the roof. Count it all joy in trials.” I remembered how God had taken care of the leak behind the dishwasher and the aging heat and air unit. I read James 1 about God’s promise to develop faith and steadfastness during our trials. The following week, a roofer assured us our roof was in good condition. God led us to a new company which offered better coverage at a lower price. We thanked Him for the joy of trust in trials.
