The Path of Perseverance

DAY 13 OF 26

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life. James 1:12

James, the half-brother of Jesus, opens his letter with a powerful encouragement to believers facing trials. He urges them to view difficulties not as burdens but as opportunities for spiritual growth. He stresses that we must allow patience to have its “perfect” work, that we may be “perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” It is important to note throughout this book that the word used in Greek for “perfect” is “teleios,” which means to come to completion, to reach full maturity, to be full grown. Take notice of the way in which James highlights the outworking of our faith in action.

  1. How can I practically apply James' teaching to "count it all joy" when facing trials in my daily life?
  2. In what ways can I become a better "doer of the word" rather than just a hearer? Can I think of specific examples from my own life?
  3. What about the qualities that James lays out in this chapter challenge me as I endure the hardships that life brings? Take some time to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal His heart in this text.

In the final hour, many will fall away, but there will be a remnant that finishes the race of faith well. Now, more than ever before, we need a reawakening in our hearts of the true meaning of enduring through trial, suffering, and pain in light of the return of Jesus.
