James 1:1-12 Testing produces endurance, God gives wisdom generously, and the rich will die in the poverty of their wealth

My brothers and sisters, be very happy when you are tested in different ways. You know that such testing of your faith produces endurance. Endure until your testing is over. Then you will be mature and complete, and you won’t need anything. If any of you needs wisdom to know what you should do, you should ask God, and he will give it to you. God is generous to everyone and doesn’t find fault with them. When you ask for something, don’t have any doubts. A person who has doubts is like a wave that is blown by the wind and tossed by the sea. A person who has doubts shouldn't expect to receive anything from the Lord. A person who has doubts is thinking about two different things at the same time and can’t make up his mind about anything. Humble believers should be proud because being humble makes them important. Rich believers should be proud because being rich should make them humble. Rich people will wither like flowers. The sun rises with its scorching heat and dries up plants. The flowers drop off, and the beauty is gone. The same thing will happen to rich people. While they are busy, they will die. Blessed are those who endure when they are tested. When they pass the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. In Paul's epistles, he exhorts us to rejoice in our testing knowing that it strengthens our faith and we should give thanks to God for all things including our life, our breath and being. James on the other hand, speaks of a double minded man, a man without conviction who is stuck in the middle and who lacks commitment and faith. Do not live your life by sight, but by what you cannot see because the spiritual world is invisible. So when you find yourself in trauma, God to God and seek his council because God will do what is right for you.
