"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." (James 1:2-4)
This passage in James reveals how God puts us through trials so that we may remain steadfast to him through the difficult moments in our lives, and this is a source of immense growth. God puts us through these trials knowing that we are able to overcome them with a reliance on him that arises from our desire to glorify him in everything.
There are times where I am anxious about what the future holds; however, I feel blessed that God chooses to place me in situations where I'm able to rely on his incredible faithfulness (1 Peter 5:7).
I don't know what future holds for me, but God continues to reveal, step by step, his plans for me to prosper as I try to humbly walk with him on my journey (Jeremiah 29:11).
