       James 1:1-4 state: “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings. Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” (ESV). First, I want to start by asking the question, what is a trial? Let’s think of some different words we could use to place here. Test. Problem. Ordeal. Inconvenience. Bother. Difficulty. Setback. Worry. Irritant. Misfortune. Trouble. Hassle. Affliction. Thorn in my side. A cross to bear. A burden to bear. Pain. Trying time. Nightmare. Hardship. Adversity. Tragedy. Trauma. Bad luck. Bad hand dealt.
