In the opening of James’ general epistle, we learn that trials are an unavoidable part of a believer’s life. However, through prayer, we can gain the necessary heavenly wisdom and guidance to prevail. When our world view is heavenly—rather than worldly—we can truly rejoice, even in the face of adverse circumstances. Please open your Bible to James chapter one, verse five, and join Pastor Ray Viola as he completes his message on verses one through eleven.
