Bible REading:James 1:2-4

Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.

For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.

So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

Devotional:

Today, we embrace the idea that resistance is not an obstacle but an opportunity for growth. Just as an athlete uses resistance to build strength, we too can use the challenges in our lives to fortify our faith. As you face the day's trials, consider them with joy, knowing that they are shaping a more resilient and patient spirit within you.

Reflection Question:

What resistance are you currently facing, and how can you approach it with a mindset that seeks growth rather than retreat?
