Day 7 - summary of trials

This is the 2nd week of the extreme faith workout (www.gbcwestlake.org)
One of the assignments, today, was to look at two different passages of Scripture that deal with trials, and then summarize each of them in 30 words or less. This helps me to think through the passages, and then write briefly, including the main points. This is how these struck me:

James 1:1-12
Trials will come, to test my faith; and if I will endure, asking God for wisdom, I will grow spiritually, receiving eternal rewards. Therefore, I can rejoice in my suffering.

I Peter 1:3-9
God gets all the glory for my eternal life. The suffering I go through is to make me what He wants me to be and to bring Him the glory.
