Today I would like to look at James 1 verse 3 to 5

3)for you know that when your faith succeeds in facing such trials, the result is the ability to endure. 
4)Make sure that your endurance carries you all the way without failing, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 
5)But if any of you lack wisdom, you should pray to God, who will give it to you; because God gives generously and graciously to all

Suffering results in endurance. God uses suffering to our advantage, He tests our faith and learn us to endure in our faith. Spiritual maturity means that you lack nothing, and each believer should strive towards it. If we don't have wisdom, we must ask God for it and He will give it to us. Wisdom is the ability to know how God would like us to live and act in all situations. This wisdom we cannot get, without praying for it. This wisdom changes our lives forever.

Have a wonderful day.
