In James 1.9-14, David teaches a powerful message about the blessings that come to those who endure trials with steadfast faith. The passage emphasises what true wealth is; asserting that the humble and lowly are exalted in God's kingdom. As believers face various challenges, the call to persevere stands as a pathway to receiving the crown of life promised to those who love the Lord. Join David in exploring the profound wisdom and blessings found in the journey of perseverance, as we navigate the trials of life with unwavering trust in God.
'Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
'Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
'When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.' (James 1.9-15, NIV.)
