What to Do When You Don't Know What to DoSample

If you’ve ever baked something, you know there’s a specific list of ingredients and directions you have to follow to get the finished product you want. If you leave even just one ingredient out, the end result just won’t be the same. The whole thing is thrown off. 

In this verse, James is saying the same is true in terms of our faith. Our faith needs perseverance in difficult circumstances, maturity in tough circumstances, and determination to keep going and turn out the way it was intended to. All those things work together to help transform us into mature and complete followers of Jesus. And isn’t that the result we all want in the end? Take a moment to pray, asking God to help you develop these qualities in yourself as you keep going on your journey of faith.
