Overview

How can we be joyful in the midst of hardship and why should we count these trials as joy? Because God wants to conform us into the image of Christ through the temporal suffering we are going through. In James 1:2-4 we read “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.” As we look to the Lord and rejoice in the midst of the storms of life, we can experience His super-abounding joy even in the midst of trials!
