Happy is the man who endures the trial to the end
James 1: 12
At the end of the trial God promises the crown of life to those who continue believing on him. At the end of these lesser trials we face as we go through life this crown is the peaceable fruit of righteousness God gives in the heart as we behold our security in Christ. After this trial called life, the crown will be eternal life with our Redeemer in glory. This crown is given by promise, the free gift of God, the reward of grace, and not of debt. Wait on the Lord. Draw near in faith asking for wisdom. Rejoice that the man of low degree is exalted and the rich brought low. Remember that the crown of life is sure to those who endure to the end (James 1: 19-22.) By his grace, brethren, count it all joy.
