Holding Up

How are you holding up? How do you hold up, hang tight, and endure hardships in your life? What do you do to endure trials?
Hard times are inevitable in a fallen world. We all face trials and hardships in life at some point and time.
As God’s beloved children, we are called by God to stand firm in hardships and when we are experiencing trials. God blesses those who love him and who endure to the end with his crown of life.
James, the half brother of Jesus, said it this way when he wrote, “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.” (James 1:12, ESV).
May we hold up under hardship, trusting God will reward us with his life when we are steady and faithful and endure life’s trials.
A Collect for Guidance: “Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
