A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor.

We enjoy smooth and easy days; however, they don’t provide opportunities for growth. Difficult times challenge us to develop the skills we need to face adversity. The Apostle James reveals the benefits of trials in our lives,

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (James 1:2-4)
