Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
JAMES 1:12 AMP
Glory and adoration be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
This morning Apostle James is telling us that God rewards abundantly the one who stands firm and faces trials and tribulations that come his or her way.
As children of the Most High God, we will experience some trials and temptations on this journey, our reaction or response to this is very important. Today’s scripture encourages every child of God to stand firm in times of trials so we don’t miss out the blessings of the Lord.
The blessings include being spiritually prosperous, favour from God and an ultimate victor’s crown of life! We must stay steadfast, we must persevere to the end to receive this crown, leave no room to fall by the roadside.
May the Lord help us to stay strong and steadfast no matter the challenge that comes our way. May we be approved by the Lord as worthy and faithful servants so we don’t miss out the victor’s crown of life in Jesus Mighty name.
