- Trials–we all have them.
- And everyone has advice on how to handle them.
- But how do we know who to listen to? How do we know who is right?
- How do we keep our sanity and peace when things around us aren’t going well? Someone just tell us the right thing to do so we can fix this and move on to something more pleasant!!
- Well the book of James has some direction for us and it isn’t easy, but it is right.
- Today we are going to talk about how our trials draw us closer to God, and how that is a really good thing for all kinds of reasons, not just for eternity, but even now in our present circumstances.
