"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience."
James 1:2-3 (NKJ)
Some trials aren't dangerous problems with high stakes. Many are, but others can be less important . . . and far more annoying.
Those can be the ones that really stretch a person's patience. They prompt irritation, frustration, anger, and bitterness; and all those emotions are poisonous. But this Bible verse is a good safeguard against building up those feelings. Remembering over and over again that trials strengthen patience can be extremely helpful, and can make a person feel calmer, more peaceful. Which is definitely better than feeling annoyed, right?
Hope you all have a wonderful week! :)
