Blessed is a man who endures trials, because when he passes the test he will receive the crown of life that He has promised to those who love Him” (Jas. 1:12 NIV).
Endurance means getting through the trial without compromising or wavering. “It is the ability of an organism to exert itself and remain active for a long period of time, as well as it’s ability to resist, withstand and recover from and have immunity to trauma, wounds and fatigue.” ( Wikipedia).
If you talk to anyone who has continued with a strong faith in Christ, you will find a common theme. In all , the most difficult times of life , they endured and they did so by relying on God to be with them (First Christian Church of Macon) . Yahweh will always be there encouraging you and empowering you to soldier on. James urges believers to continue enduring because in due course God will reward them.
There is a blessing for those who endure trials and temptations. Those who endure to the end will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love him. Remember you are not a failure until you give up. Challenges teach us to rely on our God who has promised never to leave or forsake us
