Get the most out of the test

The Apostle James warns us to make sure that we absorb all the positive effects of trials and develop patience to its maximum expression. He urges us to ask God for wisdom and discernment to understand His purpose behind each trial so that we can respond correctly and grow in character. As Christians, we should aim for perfection and develop all the qualities of Christian character to be more like Christ. Trials and difficulties have a virtue and capacity to break us and shape our character like no other experience.
