Verse of the Day

Sunday

James 1:2-3  Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

"Hang in there!" There are few traits that are more important than perseverance. Most important accomplishments in life happen because of perseverance. Most accomplishments occur when we've persevered long enough for the "magical moment" to come along. Edison said it best, life's greatest feats, the world's   greatest discoveries, his own most fantastic inventions were "1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." "Hang in there!" and see the glory of God come through in you!

PRAYER ... Unchangeable and Unshakeable God, through the friends You have sent into my life and by the power of Your gift, the Holy Spirit, help me to stand up under trial and prove my character true with perseverance when under fire. Give my faith courage and endurance so that my life shows forth Your enduring strength. Through Him who remained faithful unto death, I pray. Amen.
