Much is written in Scripture about the hardship we will face in our lives. Scripture tells us, “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” (James 1:12). Notice that the Lord asks us to persevere under trial and that these situations can be a test for us. Notice also that having stood the test we will receive the reward from Christ.
