“Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” James 1:12

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

Jesus struggled but persevered and overcame. “The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” (Matt. 26:41)? Grieved and distressed (26:37) Jesus experienced the struggle of resisting the alluring nature of sin’s temptation (Matt. 4:1-10). “One who has been tempted in all things as we are” (Heb. 4:15) “…enticed by his own lust” (Jam. 1:14)

Paul experienced the struggle between spirit and flesh. He had to keep on pressing upward (Phil. 3:11, 13, 14, 20). Suffering for Jesus’ name (Acts 9:16) Self-discipline to win (1 Cor. 9:26-27; 2 Tim. 2:5) Man’s attempt to be right by perfect law keeping is a losing battle (Rom. 7:12, 22-24).

Paul experienced the struggle between spirit and flesh. The apostle learned to cope with the struggle of a physical affliction (2 Cor. 12:7-8).

What can you and I do to persevere faithfully through life’s many struggles? Be honest with yourself about your struggles. Heb. 4:13; 1 Cor. 10:13; 1 John 1:8; Heb. 12:1; Gal. 6:2 God is for you. Rom. 8:28, 31-32; Eph. 1:4; 2 Cor. 12:9 Eliminate distractions. Rom. 13:14

What can you and I do to persevere faithfully through life’s many struggles? Be ever watchful and pray. Matt. 26:41; 1 Thess. 5:17; Jam. 5:16 Daily renew your goal. Col. 3:1-4
