The Book of James is a letter to struggling Christians encouraging them to stay faithful in the face of great suffering. It is full of practical wisdom and truth to help us know and follow God's plan for our flourishing. In James 1:13-18, James continues his encouragement to stay faithful during trials but works through the human struggle to see trials not as tests but as temptations. In doing so, we question the goodness of God and James is quick to remind us to look through our circumstances to the One who has our lives in His good and perfect hands.
