Humanity going through trials are especially vulnerable. We begin questioning why we allow ourselves to go through turbulence. Naturally, along with this school of thought, we tend to put our attention on individuals in our circles, who we think we are better than but whose lives are going very well. If an individual falls for the temptation, they are not able to persevere in their storms.
James 1:16-18 affirms that when we are going through storms, “Every good thing is given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow”. Hence, the passage emphasizes the idea that storms are one of God’s perfect gifts because when we rise above them, He uses them to produce maturity in us.
The passage introduces an appeal to humanity’s consciousness and experience to substantiate James' words. As James brings an action-oriented standpoint to the doctrines that we can believe in God to take care of us and that we must labor for the service of those in need can apply a similar standpoint to focus on change that is relevant to an individual both professionally and in personally. When I am going through trials professionally and personally in this turbulent, rapidly changing world, I stand firm by faith clinging to both perseverance and positivity to get through my trials.

Paul introduces his teaching in Ephesians 4:13-24 with a thoughtful reminder of the importance of what he is about to say. Paul is taking us back to the very foundations of man’s thinking. He insists that the beliefs on which we establish our opinions define what the results of our thinking will be. The root cause of the contortion of Gentile thinking is also identified because of the ignorance that is in them and because of the hardening of their heart.
After characterizing the mental condition of non-believers Gentiles, Paul continues to reveal the causes of their disbelief. Their thinking is ineffective because they are full of ignorance. Paul uses the term to mean they lack knowledge that people possess, place their trust, and from which they base their actions.
The way of life which Paul sets out as God’s standard for people should come as a surprise as radically different as it is from our past way of life. Our relationship to the world and ourselves is simply the outworking of who we want to be which an individual ought to be learning already. As an implication of my professional and personal life in a turbulent, rapidly changing world, I aim to remain open-minded. Meaning I can both remain true to myself yet give room for evolution in all aspects of my life. (Wk4, 223)
