Title:Navigating Life's Challenges: A Path to Spiritual Growth.

-
James 1:12 KJV
 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 
Devotion: Contrary to popular belief, the Bible doesn't guarantee a trouble-free life. Instead, it reveals that followers of Christ often face persecution, attacks, and various trials. In James 1:12, we're reminded that perseverance through trials leads to spiritual refinement and ultimately, the "crown of life" promised to those who love God.
When we view trials as opportunities to become more like Jesus, we can find blessing in them. Reflecting on past difficulties, we may see how God used them to deepen our character and expand our capacity. Even in the midst of current challenges, God is working behind the scenes to transform us.

Take heart in James' words and the promise of a heavenly reward. While earthly rewards aren't guaranteed, our eternal hope in Jesus empowers us to endure present struggles. Meditate on God's promises, including His faithfulness and constant presence(Isaiah 41:10). Thank Him for His love and guidance, knowing that trials can shape us into the image of Christ.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
