No PressureSample

James used Job as the ultimate example of endurance amid extreme pressure and steadfast patience in times of deep distress. The apostle uses the trials that Job endured to remind us that the Lord has promised to be with us in every difficulty and danger of life. He used this story to remind us that God’s grace is sufficient for us, no matter what problematic or painful circumstances we may be called upon to face in this life. He used the story of Job to show that the result of our suffering brings joy to God’s servant and honor to the Father.

Although we may have yet to endure some shocking pain and persecution in the future, and although we may never understand the reason for our suffering, we have an assurance that we’ll be drawn into closer intimacy with our heavenly Father as we trust in Him and patiently endure. Not only will we receive Christ’s sufficient grace to face the future, but we’ll also enjoy eternal benefits that can only be considered priceless.
