Let's face it. No one like tough times. Trials and troubles are not just a "pain," they can be downright PAINFUL, even bringing us to the point of despair. We've all been through them. Some of us are in at least one right now! However, James (Ya'akov, Yeshua's half-brother) has a different take on it. In James 1, we aren't to despair when faced with a trial. We are to be full of joy! Yeah, right. Well, take a moment to listen to see why Yaakov/James feels this way and may the Lord bring you encouragement to get through your particular trial...whenever it comes.
