Endure To The End!
"Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial..." (James 1:12).
"O God, Thou art my God; I shall seek Thee earnestly; My soul thirsts
for Thee, my flesh yearns for Thee, In a dry and weary land where
there is no water. Thus I have beheld Thee in the sanctuary, To see
Thy power and Thy glory. Because Thy lovingkindness is better than
life, My lips will praise Thee. So I will bless Thee as long as I
live; I will lift up my hands in Thy name." (Psalm 63:1-41).
Our life in the world is faced with many challenges, challenges with
marriage, with family, with jobs, with financial hardship, and
countless others. Many of us are faced with so many trials. I
sometimes ask myself when these trials will end. It seems that no
one is exempt from the difficulties that arise from living in this
present evil age.
James is giving us a tremendous challenge with these words! "Blessed
is a man who perseveres under trial..."
You may currently be facing some very difficult and serious trials
right now. Some with marriage, health, and others with various kinds
of other trials: money, relationships, children. All of us need to
be the recipients of prayers and encouragement.
Even while you read this devotional you may now be passing through a
critical experience in your marriage; but I entreat you, be not hasty,
be not discouraged, but submit your case to God.
Wait upon the Lord and do His will, and in this hour of trial He will work for you, and you will obtain a precious experience. Lie low at the foot of the cross. Give God a chance to work, and He will teach you precious lessons.
"And you will be hated by all on account of My name, but the one who
endures to the end, he shall be saved." (Mark 13:13).
Don't give up! Keep on trusting in God no matter what the trial, no matter what the test. Don't give up! Put your faith in God. He will never leave you nor forsake you. What more can I say my friends, but to trust in God and not to give up.
I am praying for you. Thanks in advance for your support. This is all I do fulltime.
