Friday - 4/27 - Read James 1:2-12
Usually, when people face trials the first question they ask God is "Why?"
If it is true that this world is not all there is for us, and we will someday live with the Lord and all the heartache of this world will be gone, why might the question "Why God?" not be the best question to ask Him?
If we are going to live forever with the Lord in heaven and we face trials here, what might be a better question?
Every Christian, regardless of their human resources, have the same eternity in common--heaven. According to James 1:9-11 how should we apply this in the context of trials and testing?
Do you think that living primarily for eternity instead of this temporary life is a radical perspective in this world?
If you live for that perspective how might this be perceived by those around you?
How might this help you to deal with trials and testing?
How big are your problems that test your faith in comparison to the glories of heaven that you'll enjoy forever?
The question is, will you adopt this perspective?
Read James 1:13-18 for next Sunday.
