Enduring Life's Trials

We all go through trials and tribulations, hardships and heartbreaks throughout life. Almost everyday we are tested and most of these test will make you want to quit. There will be things that you will face in life that will make you want to throw in the towel. There will be many different trials in life that you will face, whether it's betrayal of a loved one or friend, financial struggles, trouble at work, trouble in your relationship, a wayward child, emotional struggles, you will even have test within your faith. But when going through the trials of life we must never give up. Each trial and test that we face in life we go through to teach us a lesson. There are some things that God is trying to teach us that we may not learn unless we go through a particular trial. Everything that we go through molds us, shapes us and grows us into the person that God has called us to be. So don't give up. When you push through, when your faith is being tested, when you feel like everything around you is falling apart, when you feel like nothing in your life seems to be going right, when every where you turn all you see are trials and test, continue to move forward, continue to stand on your faith and let it be bigger than what you see. Continue to walk the path that God has set for you. Whatever you do, DON'T GIVE UP!! There is a lesson in the trial you are facing and when you continue to push through it you will gain the perseverance you need for the next level that God is taking you to. It may be difficult but smile through it, hold your head high and keep moving forward. Don't throw in the towel, your blessing, your crown that God has promised you is awaiting you on the other side of your trial.

Scripture:

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

~James 1:2-4, 12
