Yesterday we took a peek at what trials actually are. Today I want to say more from the passage found in James 1:2-3. James says, “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.” In the first part of this passage, James says we are to have a joyous attitude. In the second part, he now says we are to have an understanding mind. He says that as he is revealing that trials test the strength of our faith. He says in verse 3, “knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” The Greek word for “knowing” (ginosko) “suggests a knowledge grounded in personal experience. “As they adopt the attitude called for amid their trials, they will come to the personal realization ‘that the proving of your faith worketh patience’ (Hiebert)
