1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which `the Lord' promised to them that love him.

Today with the uncertainty in the economy,many who know the Lord as well as those who don't are AFRAID. It is a common thing to fear the unknown...
1:12 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.

When we know where we stand with God there should be no fear!!! HE hasn't given the spirit of fear.That is from Satan...Jesus tell us that if we follow HIM that there will be trials.The ones our Lord speaks of most times are those of persecution.However,If you have been a Believer very long you know that"He didn't say the cross would not be heavy"!!(from a Crabb Family song).Our cross represents our flesh nature.Sometimes it will be heavy,sometimes the burden will barely be noticable.If you stand in FAITH you will"overcome!!Remember "we overcome by the word of our testimony and by theBLOOD of The LAMB!!!The uncertainty is noticed because it is in our face constantly.Turn the news off,get out His Word and  see for yourself who is in control.I've read the last pages of my bible,SATAN LOSES!!!!Amen???....

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

Amen Brother! Satan is NOTHING but a loser! We all have hard times but I feel like the hard times actually is what makes us stronger than we was before we went through the trial. God is our help in our times of of need (trouble,trials,etc.) We need to remember that God said in:

Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength. A very present HELP in trouble.

God will be there to help pull you through,but we have to do our part. If we do our best God will do the rest!That means we need to get down on our knees and pray through these times of trials!

Like the saying says "When life is more than you stand try kneeling."  (PRAY)
