“Can Stress Bless?” Part 1 (Under the Juniper Tree S8e8)

Under the Juniper Tree Season 8, Episode 8 for Tuesday, December 11, 2018

That seems like a strange question as most would say no.

o   I would argue there is.

o   Please read James 1:2-12.

o   This points out that a blessing can come from stress.

·         V2: The Attitude We Hold (Count).

·         My brethren

o   Writing to Christians the author knows personally.

o   Shows the love he has for them

·         Count it all joy.

o   What are the common reactions when we face trials?

o   This may sound strange but that is likely because of how we view the word “joy.”

·         When ye fall into diverse temptations

o   When we find ourselves surrounded by the multitude trials of life.

o   We might think of David in Psalm 3.

§  (Psalm 3:1-2) – Surrounded but take note of where he turns.

§  (Psalm 3:3-6).

§  How could David say such a thing?

§  He placed his trust in God and allowed that to fill him with joy.

o   This is the attitude we ought to hold when we face trials.

We want to hear from you!
