Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of James 1:12 which says "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."

"I chose todays verse after the night I had to highlight one thing. Salvation is granted from one moment to the next, but heaven is fought for daily. Trails make you want to quit. Unexpected hiccups along the way make you want to throw in the towel. But perseverance is what gets us the crown of life. The enemy is working double time to get your further away from what God has called you to. 

But what I have learned in this life is that nothing is given to you in moments. True character has to be built over time, after spending many days in the fire. No one goes to the gym one day and then loses 50 lbs. In the same way that you can’t pray one day and not think you need to work for your spiritual life on a daily. "
