Christian Devotional – September 6, 2013

VERSE:

James 1:4–Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

TRUTH:

How do we become mature? Maturity comes as we allow God to move through our life through struggles. In the previous verses, we learn that facing struggles and situation that test our faith produces perseverance in our lives. Then as we allow perseverance to do and complete its work in our life, we experience the maturity that God desires for us. How do we face trials? Do we allow God to move and work no matter what happens knowing that He knows best in all situations? That is how we have faith; that is how we persevere.

RESPONSE:

Father, I am not strong enough to handle the situation that You choose to take me through, but You are. I will give them to You and through faith allow You to finish the work You are doing in my life.
