You know, interestingly, the the, you know, the word test here that James uses is the same Greek word James uses in that same passage for the word tempt, which means this, that your needs or or the pressures you face can be tests to stretch your faith, or it could become a temptation to shrivel your faith so that the trial or the problem or the worry can be like a knife. You can use a knife to prepare a meal, or you can use it to, what, take a knife. What that knife ends up doing all depends on how you, what, handle it. Right?
