THE BIGGEST TEST EVER

 
 
James 1:12


"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." NIV


"Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him." KJV


Most of us don't really care for taking tests. It requires time and energy to prepare and make sure we make a passing grade. Actually, our lives on this earth are tests of faith and obedience to God and resistance to the sin of this world. This kind of testing not only requires time and energy, but also commitment and the power of the Holy Spirit to make it through to the end. It is a life long test. If we stand firm and endure the hardships and trials of this world, we will pass the test and receive God's promise of the crown of life.


Heavenly Father, how we thank and praise You for the precious promise of the crown of life. Sometimes the test is difficult and we want to give up. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit so that we will have the power to persevere through the difficulties of this world. Fill our hearts with hunger and desire to pass this test so that we will spend eternity with You. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
