1:8 -- We can be comfortable, happy, and in a position of power when suddenly something changes that is totally outside our control. The economy crashes, a new boss takes over or an in-law joins the family, getting laid-off or maybe the opposite, getting a massive workload dumped on us when we don't have a spare second in the day.
However, as James suggests, rejoice in these times because...
1:12 -- The more they were afflicted, the more they grew. As that trite saying goes...nothing grows on the mountaintop.
1:17 -- An interesting side-note. The midwives lied and God prospered them. Not exactly what we learned in Sunday school, right? Maybe God has some grey areas that we mere mortals are not aware of in our black and white worlds. Just a thought.
