My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations, knowing that the trying of your faith develops patience.
James 1:2 - 3 MEV
Bible admonishes us to count it all joy when we fall into diverse temptations.
The dictionary defines temptation as "the wish to do or have something that you know you should not do or have."
The Bible says we should be glad when we are surrounded by different categories of temptations. Wow!!
But why? The Bible likens temptations to the trying or testing of our faith.
The testing of your faith is a necessary ingredient to increase the measure of faith you had when you got born again in order to produce patience and many other fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Prayer:
Father in the name of Jesus, please help me to maintain joy in the midst of any trial I may be going through right now.
Amen!
