Topic: Experience: your strength
Text:James 1:2-4
[2]Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.
[3]For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
[4]So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

Message
Challenge, pain, turbulence or trail is nothing anyone finds interesting or pleasant. It borne hurt, tears, wounds, trauma and even lost in most cases. One would wonder why we are encouraged to consider it joy when we pass through such pain?

Experience births memories which are empirical due to our encounters. In this process there are lesson to be learnt, and there are lessons to be unlearn. Thus we must consider it great joy when we are troubled. Only if we can give in to intense study and understanding of that trouble cause, then we will become victorious.

Vs 3 defines growth as that which you know and that how tall you have become. Thus brethren, how much do you know? Do you seek the understanding of your challenge or you just complain? Do you acknowledge the truth? Do you shift blame?Do you seek genuine faith? Then endure, learn and grow!

Action Point: In all thy getting get understanding.

Prayer point: I receive understanding henceforth and I grow. Amen
