Taking the easy way out is common for today's Christians. Most believers consider the testing of their faith "You know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
something to be avoided or eliminated. Instead of walking through life's trials with God, many by-pass the challenge and supersede God's will with man-made answers. James 1:3-4, however, gives us God's perspective for trials:
Is homeschooling stretching you to the limits and trying your patience? God is working in your life and your children's lives. He knows how demanding each day can be and wants you to trust Him. Place your hand in His today. Waiting on God for answers is never easy, but the spiritual lesson of endurance is only learned by going through the process. Will you let Him teach you to "let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything?" (James 1:4)
