James 1:2 (ESV)

2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,

Count is all joy when you fall into the hands of God; that is what he is saying in essence…God is in control and he is working something. You are clay in the hands of the Potter. Count it all joy when the Potter takes up the clay and molds and shapes you. He has a purpose for you. He is working in you something. Count it all joy when the hands of trials and temptations come your way because they are the hands of God. God is in control; he is working all these things together for your good and his glory.1
