Let us persevere and honor God even in the midst of the difficulties we are going through in our lives.

My brothers, consider it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 But let perseverance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no wavering, for the one who wavers is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7 Therefore let no one like him think that he will receive anything from the Lord. 8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in his exaltation; 10 But he who is rich, in his humiliation; for he will pass away like the flower of the grass. 11 For when the sun rises with scorching heat, the grass withers, its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So will the rich man wither in all his undertakings. Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

James 1:2-12

No one is exempt from difficult times, when these come, what is your reaction to them? It can be desperate and we look for a way out no matter what, regardless of anything else, but let's see what God's desire is for us in these moments, God wants his children to trust him in these difficult moments even though that does not determine the end of the suffering and affliction that we are going through.
If you are new to the ways of God, perhaps this may surprise you. There are many who sell an instant, easy gospel, but we are aware that expecting an easy life is totally unrealistic. We have to trust as children of God. The world brings us great problems and I declare this in His Word.

33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

John 16:33

God shows us the reality that we are living in. In the world we will have tribulation, but in it we will find peace. In the text of James 1:2, God invites us to consider joy in the midst of the struggle. This only makes sense when we see our difficulties through the eyes of God as an opportunity to mature, to grow in faith. We must face trials and struggles with wisdom, with perseverance, keeping in mind the blessings of God's promises, situations that we might think would be impossible but that God makes possible through faith.
We must be very clear about the objective and know that our struggle has an end and at that end we will see God and receive the crown of life as a reward. This is a glorious result more than a simple objective, this does not perish and is eternal. We must be very clear about the objective and know that our struggle has an end and at that end we will see God and receive the crown of life as a reward. This is a glorious result more than a simple objective, this does not perish and is eternal. Taking all this into account through what the word of God teaches us, are you going to stop in the difficulties of life? I invite you to continue forward even in the midst of difficulties and to discover the sweetness of life in Christ, that in Him everything is possible.
