Hello, this is Phil Johnson.

Welcome to Grace to you with John MacArthur.

Just a quick note before we begin.

What you're about to hear is a series we originally were not planning to air today.

It's a classic verse- verse study from James 1 called

Benefiting from Life's Trials. In light of the ongoing global health crisis we

thought you would benefit from considering the powerful biblical truth in this study.

And while you won't hear John or me say anything about the coronavirus pandemic, we believe

you will see that the principles from James Chapter 1 are a direct hit on the troubles we're facing today.

With that, on with John MacArthur's look at benefiting from life's trials.

Thanks for being here for Grace to you. look at benefiting from life's trials.

Thanks for being here for grace to you.

Whatever the trial is, you're to have a believing heart,

believing that God allowed it for his purpose and that is right, believing that he will give you wisdom

to endure it and be better than you ever could have been if you had not endured that trial. Welcome to Grace to you with John MacArthur. I'm your host Phil Johnson.

Maybe you've noticed that not long after a trial hits, you find yourself facing a series of

related and challenging issues, like where to look for a new job, how to make room at home for an elderly parent or even life and death decisions for a family member in the hospital.

When situations like that arise... for a family member in the hospital.

When situations like that arise,

how can you know you're making the right decisions?

John MacArthur points you to biblical answers today on Grace to you as he continues his study called

Benefiting from life's trials. You're going to see how God guides you during trials and how he makes his will known.
