Life is crazyyyyyy to the 143257th degree right now but I just wanted to stop for a minute and write a post that I need to hear and reflect on and maybe it will meet you where you are at right now as well.

This comes from a devotion I did awhile back and I searched and searched one of my old journals today trying to find it because I knew I needed a refresher. This was from a study I was going through in James and much of it was on trials we go through… now looking back at all the notes I took, there is a lot I’d like to write about it but today I only have time to share this small portion that kept coming to my mind.

Trials produce patience, maturity, seeking God’s wisdom, and future blessings.

The rewards for those that are faithful in times of persecution are the crown of glory, the crown of life, and the crown of righteousness.

I am here…

by God’s appointment.

in His keeping.

under His training.

for His time.

James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial…”
