Something to always remember

Read through the article in http://www.pastors.com/pcom/sermons/freesermons.asp yesterday.

"How to profit from your problem"
it's based on James 1:2-6..
James 1:2-6 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

Here's the summary:
4 facts of life
1.) Problems are inevitable
2.) Problems are unpredictable
3.) Problems are of many kinds
4.) Problems are purposeful
What purpose? --a.) Problems purify my faith
b.) Problems fortify our patience
c.) Problems sanctify my character

How to handle your problems?
1.) Rejoice
2.) Request --> Pray, ask for wisdom
3.) Relax --> Trust God

:) Let's walk our life together.......... :) And always always remember all these. :)

Also John 16:33, I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble, But take heart! I have overcome the world.
