       Nonetheless, James says here that it is “the [person] who remains steadfast under trial” that is the good one. We’ve already defined steadfastness, but let’s define it again to refresh our minds. Steadfastness could mean reliable, dependable, of true character, trustworthy, committed, loyal, and even faithful. The bottom line is that we made it through to the other side. We didn’t give up; we didn’t quit. We didn’t throw in the towel. Like I’ve said the last couple of weeks, there are all kinds of trials we can face in our lives. Most will be on a smaller scale, and some on a larger scale. Some people deal with really big trials. And depending on where we stand on the levels of inner-self, that will determine how we even view a trial. Some will take a more self-orientated position, and be engulfed in pity for oneself. Others are more positive, and feel that while what has happened is unfortunate, there is an overall drive in the person to conquer and overcome. They know God is on their side; there’s no doubt about that.
