James 1:2 - 4


What is the purpose of trials in our lives? 1) To find out what is real in our Christian life, 2) To find out what areas I need to work on, and 3) To find areas where God needs to begin work in my life. God doesn't need to test us to know this; he test us or allows tests so that we know. Remember those test we had in school? Clearly they made known to us what we knew at the time. Trials are a part of life that encourages us towards becoming more like Jesus (This thought was prompted from my reading of "Broken For A Purpose" by Gisela Yohannan, page 54.)
