ποΈ My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. ποΈ
James 2:1-8
I have read this many times and each time I remember was at a time in my life where I experience a challenge where the only difference is either trust Him who said He loves me and will never leave me or doubt and give in to my flesh and the behavior that will drive me to a life of passion for self-satisfaction and pride. I choose God every time. I really believe it is not me doing it, rather the Spirit of Hime within me driving me and strengthening me to make the right choices. Thank you Father, God, for Your Love, in Jesusβ name, Amen!
