Speaker 1: Life Audio.

2
00:00:12,205 --> 00:00:14,725
Speaker 2: From the Salvation Army Welcome to Heartbeat.

3
00:00:17,005 --> 00:00:22,005
Speaker 1: There's an old saying calm waters make poor sailors. It's true.

4
00:00:22,204 --> 00:00:24,805
Speaker 1: No one becomes skilled by drifting along on a perfect

5
00:00:24,805 --> 00:00:27,885
Speaker 1: sunny day. You become skilled when the waves get choppy,

6
00:00:27,965 --> 00:00:30,085
Speaker 1: when the wind shifts, when you have to grab the

7
00:00:30,205 --> 00:00:32,685
Speaker 1: rope with both hands and pray you don't end up swimming.

8
00:00:33,525 --> 00:00:36,605
Speaker 1: In life, it's the seasons where we feel stretched, overwhelmed,

9
00:00:36,685 --> 00:00:39,604
Speaker 1: out of our depth, but somehow still standing that make

10
00:00:39,725 --> 00:00:42,964
Speaker 1: us grow. James One says that the testing of our

11
00:00:43,005 --> 00:00:49,764
Speaker 1: faith produces perseverance, not comfort, not convenience, perseverance. So if

12
00:00:49,765 --> 00:00:52,644
Speaker 1: you're in rough waters right now, don't assume you're failing.

13
00:00:53,045 --> 00:00:55,645
Speaker 1: It might be the very place God is training you,

14
00:00:56,045 --> 00:00:59,125
Speaker 1: deepening you, turning you into someone who can whether what

15
00:00:59,285 --> 00:01:04,005
Speaker 1: others can't, hold on to his promises the storm will pass.
