The Gospel of James

Vs 2-4 is particularly intriguing

2 Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials.
3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace].
4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing.

Let me break it down for us all..

Most persons see challenges as stumbling block, others see it as stepping stones. And the bible tells to be happy and excited when challenges come.

We can't qualify for next level, and upgrade or promotion, the next class and all if we don't get tested at our present level

Challenges tests our resolve, discretion and capacity. So when they come, the right attitude is paramount, instead of us seeing it as what to keep us down, let us see it as a way we can go higher.

Vs 3-4 says it leads to maturity, capacity to handle more(promotion), mastering arts, handling tasks etc

And we should know that the reward for good work is MORE WORK
