James 1:12. Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
Points to ponder:
Every test or trial is an opportunity for us to grow in grace and faith. We can succumb or surrender. If we succumb, we believe the lies of the enemy and fail to walk by faith in grace and truth. If we surrender, we embrace the work of God in our lives to accomplish His plan and purposes. Trials make us stronger when we remain steadfast, clinging to our faith and the person of Jesus Christ. Yes, we will receive the crown of life, but even better we receive more of God Himself. God is for us. He empowers us to persevere and overcome every obstacle and trial. He gives us the victory. "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:57.
Stand firm, sister; don't succumb, but surrender to the love and work of Jesus Christ in your life.
