...because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 

And let endurance have its full effect, 

so that you may be mature 

and complete, 

lacking nothing.

James 1:3-4 CSB

We've looked at "consider it" from V2, "and let", and today it's "so that".

Some business guru once said "don't waste a good crisis".

James said it first.

You're going to have stuff happens that tests your faith.

Testing produces something good. 

Endurance.

Endurance changes us.

So that.

So that we'll become;

Mature

Complete

Lacking nothing

As we head into this time of Less Choices, where is it that we need to grow?

What am I lacking that God might want to use this time to speak into?

Where does He want to mature me?

For each of us there's a "so that". 

I'm not sure what that is for me right now, but I'm sure that there's some idols that will become clearer, as Less Choices Level 4 kicks in.

Do you remember who James is writing to?

A people scattered (v1)

Right now it feels like we're in that situation, scattered, and the Bible has plenty to say to people in that situation.
