Life is a precious gift from God and you ought to be grateful that you are alive today. There are so many people who could not make it to see this day, but you are blessed that you are alive today and you are able to read this devotional and be blessed. Great people are known for their gratitude but small people will remain small because they are not grateful for each gift that comes from the Father. Each day is a blessing. Make it a point to thank God for your life, because without Him, you would be nothing. As you live your life, it is not a smooth journey, but it is rough and narrow, but still life must continue. Life must move on, no matter how bad the journey may seem to be. When you get to a hump, do not be discouraged, you simply slow down until you get through the hump. For you to be who you are in Christ, you have to go through these trials, persecutions, temptations and tests. Without persecutions, how will you rise to the top? And without tests and trials, how will you have great faith and be strong and courageous? Remember, the LORD Jesus Christ overcame all the trials tests and temptations including death. His death was so painful at the Cross of Calvary with all His enemies watching him to die, but He still overcame and on the third day He rose again to life and all this, it was in order for you and me never to die again. He took all our sins upon Himself. You should never give up on God but rather press on ahead for you are a victor and overcomer in Christ Jesus and victors and overcomers do not give up at all, but they continue trusting in God and holding on to Him like what Jesus Christ did. In the end, there is a prize of eternal life at the finish line. Revelation 3:21 says, “To him who overcomes, l will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as l overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.” Let me tell you that gold is very precious and for it to be so valuable, it has to go through the refiner’s fire. In the same way, while in this life you have to go through the refiner’s fire to become as precious as gold and even more than gold. So do not worry when you go through the fire because the LORD will be with you through it all. Isaiah 43:2 says, “When you pass through the waters, l will be with you. And when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For l am the Lord your God.” Just trust in Jesus Christ. Look at Him at the Cross and keep connected to Him and I mean always have faith in Him and I tell you, in the end there is great joy waiting for you. Alleluia!

Prayer

Help me LORD Jesus Christ never to give up when things seem not to be looking good for me but to instead cling on You. Give me the faith to overcome all the trials, tests and temptations just as You were able to overcome each test and even death. Thank You LORD Jesus Christ, Amen.
