VERSE:
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is
tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath
promised to them that love him.
-- James 1:12

THOUGHT:
This beatitude comes from Jesus' brother. He had experienced it
and not just taught it! James knew it was worth "hanging in" and
"hanging on" when his faith was under attack. He affirmed that God
loves us and that he has had made incredible promises about what
lies ahead for us. He knew that eventually our period of testing
would be transformed into a time of great blessing. James wants us
to know that God longs to bless us with life! After all, that's why
he sent Jesus. (cf. John 10:10)
PRAYER:
Dear LORD and Father, thank you for all those times that you
strengthened me when I was under attack and sustained me when I was
weary and ready to quit. Write "perseverance" deep within my soul
and give me a spirit of tenacity so that I might serve you no
matter what the outward circumstances of my life may be. In the
mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
