The epistle of James in the Bible tells us " Consider it all pure joy ...whenever you go through trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete not lacking anything " (James 1: 2-4). Our goals many times are delayed as God works in us, shaping our minds and spirit to empower and enable us to receive positions and blessings that we praay for.
