March 7 - Endurance and the Crown of Life

MARCH 7

James 1:12-15 (KJV)
"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. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."

Are you struggling to see God’s purpose in your trials? When hardships come, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but James reminds you that perseverance leads to God’s blessing—the crown of life. This devotion explores how enduring trials strengthens your faith while warning against the dangers of temptation. Stay steadfast, trust in God’s plan, and let Him refine you through every challenge.
