Read this first: James 1:3
Faith in God is put under strain by hard times, and that's good! Why? Firstly, because it tests if our faith is real. Secondly, because the Spirit uses such situations to help us grow in patient endurance, through trust in God. As James says later (2:26), true faith always brings changes in our behaviour. Are you changing? Becoming more patient? Persevering? If not, why is that?
Based on the sermon “Wisdom in hard times”
