How to Handle Problems

How to Handle Problems
James 1:2

       Are you experiencing special problems today?  Do you know what to do with your problem?  Well, let James teach you.  See your problem as a test of your faith :3. God does not need to test you, for He knows what you are experiencing.  He does test you, however, for your own sake :3.  By tribulation you are taught patience :3.  The trials you are experiencing today are for the purpose of maturing you in the patient faith of Christ :4.

       Our trials are annoying to us, but they make us see the need for wisdom.  Do you see that need?  How can you obtain that wisdom?  Pray for it :5.  God said if any man lack wisdom, let him ask for it.  When you pray for it, pray in faith :6, 7.  Do not waver.  If you pray doubting, you need not expect anything in return.  Trusting must also be persevering.  If you trust today but doubt tomorrow, you are unstable.  You will not be blessed :8.
 
        Even Financial Tests are a blessing.  Are you in poverty?  Trust God.  When He lifts you up rejoice :9.  Are you blessed with plenty?  Humble yourself.  Recognize that it is God Who has blessed you with this world's goods.

       Whatever your lot, rejoice in tribulation for God is preparing you for Heaven :12.  Granted, it is not easy to rejoice in tribulation.  God said, blessed is the man that endureth temptation.  God said that he that is tried shall receive the crown of life.
