I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
(Psalm 40:1)Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
(James 5:11) When we go through trials we end up stronger than ever in our faith
James teaches that those who suffer are blessed and should have patience, as trials can lead to a deeper understanding of God. Job is used as an example, as he came out of his test with a renewed perspective of God. Other biblical characters, such as Moses, Elijah, Daniel, and Esther, also went through trials but were brought out with victory and a strengthened faith. The end result of tests is positive and can lead to a new song, renewed ministry, and a settled relationship with God.
