James 1:12-18
Today's Scripture
When things go wrong, a temptation can be to blame God. But James tells us here, and it is evident throughout Scripture, that God is the giver of good and perfect gifts. He wants to bring light and truth to us, not shadows or evil.
When we endure through trials, we will receive the crown of life that the Father has for us. So, as we face difficulties, let us ask God for the strength to persevere and know that he wants the best for us. Thank you, Lord, for the many good gifts you give us, and help us when hardship comes and give us the endurance to bear whatever may come. Amen
