Count It Joy!

James 1:2-4

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Power Points

Counting temptations as joy seems to be an odd request.

We have to learn to look at the big picture.

Being faced with temptation is an uncomfortable situation.

It is those situations that build and strengthen our faith, when we are able to resist and remain faithful to God.

When we resist temptation, we let God know that we are patiently awaiting his salvation, promises, and purpose for our lives.

God is in control.

Whatever He allows to come our way serves a purpose.

We must remember that as we trust God and patiently wait on Him, we will want for nothing!

God is AWESOME...that's All I Know. -Tevin C. Jordan
