James 1:12
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.
God has a sense of humor! If you have been with me on our renovation journey the past week you know I have been a little off kilter. Something about living in chaos is just not my cup of tea. This morning just added to the fun. It looked like the bathroom was going to be finished today, after several setbacks. Alas, the vanity I ordered was opened and it is damaged 😡 I am told to not worry, Lowe’s in another town 45 minutes away has one in stock. Insert deep breathing here.
I set down, open my bible, and what verse pops up? Yep, you read it, James 1:12. Blessed is the one who perseveres. Really God? I just had to chuckle. I know this verse is about making it through life and making it to Heaven in the end. I also know God was smiling as I opened my bible and He placed this in front of me. It was His way of hugging me and saying, “You got this girl! It will soon be over. Just keep going!”
We serve a wonderful God! He always seems to have the right verse, meme, song, or kind word from someone at the right time. Just when you think you cannot hang on, He sends a smile and hug.
Lord, thank You for the hug! ~amen
