The trials of life must produce patience in us

Dr. Roberto Miranda

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The joy that the apostle James speaks of in facing trials is not superficial, but rather a joy of the spirit. Trials produce patience, which is an important characteristic for spiritual growth and relationships with others. Patience is necessary in waiting for the Second Coming of Christ, as we do not know when it will happen and we must trust in God's timing. We should rejoice in trials as they form important qualities in us.

When the apostle James says that we consider it a joy to find ourselves in various trials, he is not suggesting that we necessarily rejoice in the emotional sense of the word, but rather that the joy he describes in this passage is rather a joy of the spirit.

It is the joy of the athlete who when he is in agony running and preparing for a race is enjoyed in an almost objective way by the fact that he is expanding his capacity, he is strengthening his muscles, he is training more for the victory that he wants to acquire in the race. next race. It is not a joy rather as superficial but it is the joy of knowing that something greater is coming from which we are benefiting when experiencing these difficult situations.
