Read this first: James 1:2
The hearers of James's letter are in painful times of life, and they do not need to pretend otherwise: we aren't commanded to fake happiness we don't acutally feel. But neither are we to let misery determine how we view our life. The Spirit leads us into troubles we face with purposes in mind for our good, and that is joyful. So let us focus our thoughts on that truth.
Based on the sermon “Wisdom in hard times”
