What are we truly doing with Faith?

In the book of James there are things that can relate to us like what James 1:2 -8 says

        “My brothers and sisters, when you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, ³ because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience. ⁴ Let your patience show itself perfectly in what you do. Then you will be perfect and complete and will have everything you need. ⁵ But if any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He is generous to everyone and will give you wisdom without criticizing you. ⁶ But when you ask God, you must believe and not doubt. Anyone who doubts is like a wave in the sea, blown up and down by the wind. ^7-8 Such doubters are thinking two different things at the same time, and they cannot decide about anything they do. They should not think they will receive anything from the Lord.” 

          What that is talking about is when your going through things, like I did when  My neighbor said she was made at me . Or when people are trying to find there self , and who they really are. When we have doubts about a test or if what you are wearing is ok.  Or most ignorantly if you have a doubt that Jesus rose from the cross James 1:6 it talks about how that is  wave lifting higher and higher.  But Jesus like like the Wisdom when you ask for it He will help you bring that wave down to a calm sea that knows that when it has a wave coming it will have the Wisdom to know what to do and how to handle it.  The wind like satin he tries to rise up your problems and make then to hard to face that when you try  to face them it’s hard to. But if you use God’s wisdom you can calm your sea of your heart, 

   Or like James 1:12-15  says “When people are tempted and still continue strong, they should be happy. After they have proved their faith, God will reward them with life forever. God promised this to all those who love him. ¹³ When people are tempted, they should not say, “God is tempting me.” Evil cannot tempt God, and God himself does not tempt anyone. ¹⁴ But people are tempted when their own evil desire leads them away and traps them. ¹⁵ This desire leads to sin, and then the sin grows and brings death…

    And that is true God doesn’t bring the temptation of us as humans and as sinners  to sin agented God like this verse in Jams 1:16-18 says “My dear brothers and sisters, do not be fooled about this. ¹⁷ Every good action and every perfect gift is from God. These good gifts come down from the Creator of the sun, moon, and stars, who does not change like their shifting shadows. ¹⁸ God decided to give us life through the word of truth so we might be the most important of all the things he made.”

   So even when we have a wave or we are tempted James says that God doesn’t want us to suffer. And that he wants up to be happy, and his most impotent and beautiful gift is Jesus! He loved us so much and God wanted to give us that gift of  life so that even though we have waves or temptations, JESUS IS ARE GIFT OF LIFE!!!!! Satan  wants our Waves to be HUGE and go forever, but When we have the wisdom and love of God and we trust and accept his gift that is free, and we are free from death. We have no more shadows that we need to be scared of , and we can trust that God gave is more then we can ever pay  for. We don’t need to hide from our waves, or our shadow, Because we have God’s gift and his Wisdom!!! J
