Important for men to understand the wisdom behind this verse:

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."
James 1:2-4

Notes:
i. James regarded trials as inevitable. He said when, not if. At the same time trials are occasions for joy, not discouraged resignation.
ii. Patience is the ancient Greek word hupomone. This word does not describe a passive waiting but an active endurance.
