James 1:12
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life......
These words were spoken by Job when he was is sore frustration and distress, when he was strived with sores in his whole body, simply when he couldn't bear no more.
There is a lesson from this verse and in the life of Job that we all can learn, in this world full of fear and danger.. killing and pain, tears and sorrow every corner we turn, every channel we watch. When we come to a state where we can't bear it no more, even in our everyday chores; we should go seeking after God. Whom the psalmist sang - Is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Pslams 46:1).
So without giving up in frustration when everything around us goes wrong; discouraged when the people you love turn their backs on you, and filling up inside with anger when we are falsely accused, let us look at Jesus and his humble death on the cross. Let's go through the trials set before us, and run this race with looking at the reward (crown of life) kept for us.
For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. (Isaiah 54:7)
