DAY 316
Count Trials as Pure Joy
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
πᾶσαν χαρὰν ἡγήσασθε, ἀδελφοί μου, ὅταν πειρασμοῖς περιπέσητε ποικίλοις.
📜 THE VERSE
Consider it pure joy whenever you fall into trials of many kinds.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
This hardship troubling me now—what is it forging me into?
📝Reflection
To count trials as joy sounds forced at first—like being told to smile while in pain. But James does not mean enjoy the suffering; he means look at what it produces. The Greek peirasmos is both test and tempering. As iron must enter the fire to become a tool, a person is hardened by passing through trials. Seen from the side of the outcome, present hardship gives us a reason to endure.
