Joy In Trials

Feb 19, 2017  •  Russ Miller

Follow-Up Questions: Small group, personal reflection, and table talk...

1. James mentions wealth as something that we could potentially put our trust in. What kinds of things do you tend to trust in and rely on for security and well being other than God? In what ways is relying on God more wise than trusting in those things?
2. Where do you lack wisdom? Where might you be most tempted to be "wise in your own eyes? Who has God put in your life to give you wisdom?" Follow the command of James 1:5 and ask for wisdom.
3. What trial are you currently experiencing? What would it look like for you to "count it all joy" in the midst of that trial? In what ways can you currently see God maturing you and strengthening your faith through this process? How does this knowledge encourage you?
