Even though it is disheartening to hear as Christians, we will experience various trial, it is also true we can experience joy in the midst of difficult times. James is telling us the key is where we place our focus. By making a deliberate choice to focus on the attributes of God, His character, His promises, His faithfulness, we will experience joy in the middle of suffering.
