Santiago 1:12

忠诚和坚持在属灵生活中非常重要。上帝希望我们在大小事上都能忠心。上帝也希望我们继续坚持，在祂面前过得越来越完全。这个读经计划将帮助我们增强对上帝的忠诚和坚持。

Suffering can be perplexing. God’s people—and even Jesus himself—have often asked the “Why?” question when facing suffering. Scripture pulls back the curtain to reveal some, though not all, of God’s purposes in permitting suffering to enter our lives. Through it all, we are called to persevere faithfully, resting in the assurance of ultimate victory and eternal reward.

Have you ever been so tired or defeated in life that you’ve wanted to throw in the towel and give up? The Bible is full of encouragement to persevere and keep going! This 7-day reading plan will refresh you for the journey ahead.

我们应该如何回应生命里的试炼呢？雅各书告诉我们答案：无论何种遭遇，选择凭信心生活。雅各深入分析了我们面对试探、错误的教导、冲突、困难和不公时的挣扎。试炼不是为了使我们软弱或忧虑，而是要让我们更加强壮。上帝所赐的信心具有可以更新我们的思想、优先次序、决定和人际关系的大能。
