James 1:2-4. This message originally delivered on February 14, 1999. The old testament reference to Habakkuk was from Habakkuk 3:17-19. At 13:25 minutes, Kimber quotes John Blanchard, Truth for Life: a Devotional Commentary on the Epistle of James - "Trials are sent by God in order to make a person stand; temptations are sent by Satan to make a person fall. In testing you, God is aiming at your development; in tempting you, Satan is aiming at your disgrace".
