STORMS OF LIFE

My brethren, count it all joy when ye 

fall into divers temptations;

Knowing this, that the trying of your

 faith worketh patience.

But let patience have her perfect work, 

that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

If any of you lack wisdom, 

let him ask of God, 

that giveth to all men liberally, 

and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. 

For he that wavereth is like a wave 

of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

For let not that man think 

that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Let the brother of low degree 

rejoice in that he is exalted:

But the rich, in that he is made low: because 

as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, 

but it withereth the grass, 

and the flower thereof falleth,

 and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: 

so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation:

 for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life,

 which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

James 1:2-12
