James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience In life sometimes it takes many years or even decades to get a desired result. God wants us to succeed, thats why He is telling us to LET patience have its perfect work..Our patience is what will cause us to have assurance in the midst of all our turmoil.We, as the children of God are to live by faith. God has provided all that we need to do whatever He has called us to do. In order for faith to be strong, it must be tested. As a matter of fact, faith by its very nature has to be tested and tried in order to grow. As our faith grows, the more patient we become; that is, we are able to endure the hardships and trials of life without complaining. We learn to trust in God to lead and guide us through all things that we face. As we let patience do her work in us under these trials and afflictions, it will cause us to become more like Christ, stronger in our faith, and a more effective servant for the Lord.Another thing that produces patience is found in (Romans 5:3-4). “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope:” You see, James told us to count it all joy when we fall into divers temptations; that is, the trials of our faith. Paul tells us that we are to glory in our tribulations also, knowing that tribulations work patience. Here we see that we will face all kinds of trials and tribulations as we walk through this life. But we know that these trials and tribulations will work for our good. The good that these trials will do for us is worth the endurance of them. Just as peace, prayer and praise are keys to Christian living, so is patience.Our patience brings glory to God, and peace to our hearts.
