It is a good exercise, to meditate on, and then to write out scriptures in your own words. It helps you to really think about what it is saying and how to communicate it to others. In my own words:
James 1:9-11 - If you are struggling financially, you can rejoice as a believer who is in a high position before God. If you are doing well financially, you can rejoice in trials that God uses to make you humble and sensitive to others needs. Because the person who trusts in his wealth will be soon gone and all he has built up will be gone. It comes and then disappears quickly. Don't pursue wealth. Regardless of your trials, pursue endurance; for at then end of these trials, at the end of this short life, is eternal life and rewards with God!
What have I learned through recent trials I have gone through?
1. Trusting in man is futile. Only God can be trusted
2. The important thing is not having some type of personal victory over others, but victory over sin, and growing spiritually through a trial
3. There is always, always, a reason to praise God and give Him glory!
