2 Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. 3 You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. 4 So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. 5 If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. 6 Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves. 7 Don’t think you’re going to get anything from the Master that way, 8 adrift at sea, keeping all your options open.
(James 1: 2-8, MSG)
How many of us truly look at challenges in life as something to be joyful about. I certainly don't, but I have been surprised many times by a challenge in life and looking back on how it help. Sometimes God places adversity in our life’s to keep us from a wrong path or to place us on the right path. Today let us look at the challenges of life with the outlook on the positive side and remember that it is either placing me on the right path or directing me away from the wrong path.
