My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations
James 1:2

I have heard this verse preached both ways. Either as "temptations" or as "troubles." It fits both ways too. We should rejoice either in times of sorrow or when we are tempted.

One of the concordance meanings of temptation is "adversity".

It is definitely in that context in Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
