James encourages us to consider it all joy, whenever we face trials of many kinds, because we know that the testing of our faith produces perseverance.
James says perseverance must finish its work so that we would be mature and lacking in nothing.
He exhorts us to ask God if any of us lacks wisdom.
We should ask God because He gives generously to all people without finding fault, and surely the wisdom will be given to us.
However when we ask, we must not doubt but believe!
Because he who doubts is like a moving wave of the sea, tossed and blown by the wind.
If we doubt like that, we should not think that we will receive anything from God.
Because we would then be double-minded, unstable in all we do.
James 1:1-8
