Monday: Embracing Trials with Joy

Scripture: James 1:2-3 (NIV)

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance."

Devotional: Trials can be blessings in disguise. They may not always feel joyful in the moment, but they refine us and build our faith. Just as gold is purified through fire, our faith grows stronger when tested. Today, reflect on a trial you've faced and how it has shaped your character. Trust that God is using every challenge to mold you into His image.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we find joy in knowing that trials refine us. Strengthen our faith, and help us persevere through life's challenges with unwavering trust in Your purpose.

Reflection: How can you shift your perspective to see trials as opportunities for growth and deeper faith?
