Persevere on this Earth School , Receiving the Crown of Life in Heaven with God Someday to Spend with Jesus!

 

“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”

-James 1:12

We need to remember this Bible verse at all times. We are certainly living many trials today in our country and world. We see so much corruption and greed, so much evil, and so many who now who have become slaves of the devil themselves, stay steadfast under trial! Don't let the corrupt and elected, or so-called leaders who act more like Satan to get you down. Don't buy into their lies and deceit.  That is all we can do, find refuge in God alone! Like it says in the Bible, we are cursed if we follow man. God first and only, put Him first and find refuge in Him alone and your reward in Heaven will be great to those who persevere. God is an overflowing God! James was the brother of Jesus. He also died as a martyr in 62 A.D.  thrown from the temple, he was not able to finish his book, it is unfinished, but James has some really beautiful writing from it in the Bible. So much hope and encouragement for all of us now. I love the word "perseverance." One of my college advisors used it with me and I have tried to persevere for years and used it with my students today to encourage them as well. That is what life is all about! Remain steadfast! Never give up! While all the problems and evil of today can get one down, we need to stay focused on God alone and know our real reward from this life on this Earth School is in Heaven with Him forever, His promises are real for those who live Him! What a blessing!
