The book of James puts it this way, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." (James 1:2 NIV) An apostle of Jesus speaks about persevering when he says, "I've finished the race, I've fought the fight, I've kept the faith. Therefore there is laid up for me a crown of life." (2 Timothy 4:7-8)
Perseverance may be difficult!
The victor's crown comes only after persevering. Perseverance may be difficult for you today, but it will make life work better for you in the long run and God will use it to transform you to be more like him!
