God will bless you, if you don’t give up when your faith is being tested. He will reward you with a glorious life, just as he rewards everyone who loves him. ~ James 1:12 (CEV)
God, it's hard to not give up when we're going through difficult times. And sometimes I do give up. When I'm worn out and tired I am more likely to give into the bad things which tempt me. But, really, the tests are not too hard when I stick close to you. You have already made a way through Jesus our Savior. He did not collapse under the weight of the tests he endured. And as long as we're walking arm-in-arm with him his strength gets transferred to us. There is no trial or temptation from which we can't benefit. No matter what happens today I am going to stay close to Jesus. I don't want to miss out on your rewards. Thank you for investing in me. Amen.
