Trials; nobody looks forwards to them. In the world we find ourselves living in today, things have never been easier. Want to communicate with someone far away? Reach in to your pocket for your phone and talk with anyone anywhere in the world immediately. Hungry? Go to the store and pick up groceries on the way home. But even in this world of convenience and ease, none of us can escape trials, especially if you are a follower of Jesus Christ. Thankfully James shows us what we can experience in the midst of a trial and that there is also a purpose for what we are going through.
