Jam 5:11 Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord–that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.
Endurance is the ability or power to bear prolonged exertion, pain, or hardship. God has made it plain that his people will at times go through suffering, hardships, persecution and other trials. Through their endurance however, they will prove God’s faithfulness and develop true Christian character.
James gives the Old Testament example of Job. Job lost every thing – his wealth, his children, his honor and eventually his health. In the face of such severe trial, he never grumbled against God. Finally, God greatly Blessed Job.
God allows sufferings and tribulations to come upon us for our good. At the end, because of his great mercy and love, He will always turn our sorrow and pain into joy and blessings.( Applied New Testament Commentary – Thomas Hale)
