James has been very clear that trials are an everyday part of life. But we must get our theology correct about these trials and how they relate to God. Today we will look through James 1:13-18 and see that God Only Gives Good gifts and that we must remember that God never changes. This truth will fortify our faith in the middle of trials.

The discussion of trials and our faith continues on from the opening verses. The reason is clear: all Christians will face hardship. Jesus intends for the hardships we faith to be opportunities for us to prove our faith. The passage we look at today is one of great challenge to our perspective of trials and the living out of our beliefs.

Samson is known as the strongest man to ever live. His feats of strength are miraculous and were used by God, but Sa son also lived a very dysfunctional spiritual life. We will examine his spiritual work and how it should cause us to evaluate our own lives.

Life is hard and trials come and trials go. In the opening section of James believers are warned to prepare themselves for difficulties. But, we do not prepare without hope. James encourages us to embrace hardships as opportunities to exemplify Christ. We are called to respond as patient Christians who serve a great Master.
