So it is not exactly "survival of the fittest" but endurance and perseverance is for sure a test of faith and requires patience... which adds more to the testing of faith. It can only be perfected in Christ. Perfect is not something that can be achieved by man alone just like miracles cannot happen without God's power. Most of us have seen a fair share of troubles and trials. How did you push through? James says WHEN troubles come, not if or maybe. Be prepared. Christ prepares. What is the foundation of life that you are standing on? With Christ as a platform, all is secure. Stand on firm and stable ground, not sinking sand. When trials come, lean into Christ. Be prepared. Allow Him to be the strength and endurance that gets you through. He is perfection. He is complete.
----------------------------------------
"Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing."
~*James 1:2-4 (NLT)*~
