Joy in Trials | Video Devotional | December 22, 2025
Key phrase: "Consider it pure joy when you face trials."
Devotional: James doesn't tell us to fake happiness when life gets hard. He invites us to see trials differently—not as interruptions to our faith, but as the very thing that develops it. Trials test our faith, and that testing produces perseverance, maturity, and completeness. It's not about enjoying the pain; it's about trusting that God is using it. Every difficulty is an opportunity for your faith to grow deeper roots, for your character to become more like Christ, for you to discover that God is enough even when everything else falls apart.
Reflection: What trial are you facing right now? Can you see any way—even a small way—that it's refining your faith or revealing what you really believe about God?
Prayer Prompt: Ask God to help you shift your perspective on the trials you're walking through. Pray for the maturity and endurance that comes from tested faith, and ask Him to complete the good work He's doing in you through this season.
