Food for the Brain. Blessed is He. James 1:12 KJV '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 Living Bible Translation. 'Happy is the man who doesn't give in & do wrong when he is tempted, for afterwards he will get as his reward the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him".
This text shows that blessing is not only for the man that suffers but for that man who continues through hardship & adversity & who with patience puts up with all his difficulties in the way of his duty.
We cannot let troubles & trials which are not of our own fault make us miserable. Quite often we are rewarded for getting through tuff times in ways we never imagined. Sometimes we may find that troubles & trials are really a blessing as they may point us in a different direction or they may make us stronger to face whatever lies ahead. The way to Jesus was never meant to be easy & the road can get quite bumpy at times. Its quite often the case that these bumps along the way are like checkpoints to make sure that we are ready for what lies ahead. Quite often also, these bumps tend to make you stronger & happy that you have faced them & won.
There is a reward waiting for us when we have endured everything that has come our way & that reward is eternal life. Jesus tests us to make sure that we are ready for the crown of life. Metals are tried in a fire to make them stronger & its the same with us. No one gets far on an easy path but a person who is tempted & tried is in a better position to overcome all that comes to him in the last days.
To be approved of God is the aim of every person wanting entry to heaven & just as Jesus faced trials & temptations in the wilderness, so we also face trials & temptations on our onward journey. To every one who overcometh, Jesus has promised a crown of life.
Why not give yourself to Jesus every day as not one of us knows what lies ahead of us but with Jesus on your side, you can overcome all & be rewarded with your own crown of life.
