See notes on Mt 5:4, 10, 11. Believers who successfully endure trials are truly happy (cf. 5:11).
perseveres.
See note on v. 3. In this context, it also describes the passive, painful survival of a trial and focuses on the victorious outcome. Such a person never relinquishes his saving faith in God; thus this concept is closely related to the doctrine of eternal security and perseverance of the believer (see note on Mt 24:13; cf. Jn 14:15, 23; 1Jn 2:5, 6, 15, 19; 4:19; 1Pe 1:6–8). trial. See note on v. 2. approved. Lit. “passed the test” (see note on v. 2, “trials”). The believer has successfully and victoriously gone through his trials, indicating he is genuine because his faith has endured like Job’s.
crown of life. Best translated “the crown which is life.”
“Crown” was the wreath put on the victor’s head after ancient Greek athletic events. Here, it denotes the believer’s ultimate reward, eternal life, which God has promised to him and will grant in full at death or at Christ’s coming (see notes on 2Ti 4:8; Rev 2:10; cf. 1Pe 5:4).
Who are, our Friends? We must choose wisely, those that speak wisdom, that comes from God, into our lives. This is not saying, that we can’t interact with old friends, just to be clear, but our inner circle, should be those we can seek wise counsel from. How are we doing with this? Would love to hear from you?
1st Corinthians 15:33 says this…..Do not be deceived: ” Bad company, corrupts good Morals”
Proverbs 13:20 says this: “He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will suffer harm.”
Just as Rains from Heaven, come down and wash everything clean, so Jesus washes us clean, and restores us, as we walk in faith. Only Jesus, there is no other Name.
“He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.”
Psalms 23:3 NASB1995

- Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.- Refrain:
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see:
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
- Refrain:
- Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. - Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow—
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
How little we understand, that our days are numbered, by our creator. Lord, may this day, bring you Honor and Praise.
Having an Identity Crisis? “How do I know if I’m enough?”
Taken from the “You Version Bible App”
In a world searching for identity and purpose, we often look for reassurance that what we do and who we are is enough.
But we’re never really sure if it is.
With all the noise around us, we can get distracted from God and forget what He says about us.
No matter what distractions you face, when you know God’s Word, you can trust that it is true—even when you don’t always feel like it’s true. And here’s what God’s Word says about you:
- God chose to create you. When God created the earth, He created us in His image.
- God created you with a unique plan in mind. Scripture tells us that God not only created us but has a plan for us and gives us hope and a future.
- God has called you by name. You are His.
- Nothing can separate you from God’s love.
So, how do we know if we are enough?
We aren’t—not on our own at least. But that’s the beauty of the good news of Jesus.
God loves and values you so much that He sent Jesus so you could be saved. On our own, we aren’t enough, but through Jesus, we are.
When you doubt your worth, remember this: God knows you better than anyone because He created you. And who He says you are is enough.
Today, ask God to help you trust His Word and that what He says about you is true.
Choose Life, I Pray. Both for the Here and Now, and for All of Eternity! Believe (John 3:16)

What Path are you going down?

Forgive us Lord, when we seek our own path. May we be reminded of (Jeremiah 29: 11-13), which reminds us that you know in advance, the plans you have for us). May you guide us in Wisdon, from your Word and your Holy Spirit’s indwelling. Amen. Funny how this wiped as I was writing, and had to start in a different path. Lesson learned. 🙂
