Come on! Let's Get This Crown!

Life's journey will take you from mountain high to valley low and back again. You will have good days and bad days. This is true in ministry and everyday life experiences. When your season shifts from up to down, may you find comfort in James 1:12

"Blessed is the one who remains steadfast under trial, for when they have stood the test they will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him."

Because God loves you and you love God, today's trial can become tomorrow's testimony. It all depends on your next move which doesn't require much more than a little trust and loyalty.

All you have to do is hold on and remain committed to the Lord your God. Don't let situations sway you from staying steadfast in the Lord. Don't let problems and persecution pull you away from what you know to be true about the provision and promises of God. Don't let confusion or conflict crush your confidence in the Master.

The Word of God never said we wouldn't have trials. It never said our faith wouldn't be tested. However, it does say that if we stand through our trials and test, we will receive the crown of life.

Is God like man that He should lie? Absolutely not! God is faithful to His every word. Perhaps today is a really difficult and trying day. You may have wanted to quit before the day even got started. Maybe you are angry with God and feel like He has forsaken you.

No ma'am and no sir. This is only a test. Decide right now that you will not be defeated or deterred. Depression is canceled in the name of Jesus. Doubt is canceled in the name of Jesus.

See yourself on the up side of down. Your spirit is free! Your mind is free!

Come on! Let's get this crown!
