“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."
Have you ever dreamed of being a King or Queen? Can you imagine the beautiful crown you could make since you had every precious stone available? The shear beauty of your crown would indicate your status. Did you know God has promised you such a crown?
The crown God has prepared for you sparkles with beauty. Each stone reflects its splendor when basking in the eternal light of God. What is even more precious is the thought that each crown is equally beautiful, since he promised to give us “the crown.” I don’t have to worry about my crown being diminished by another person’s crown.
This verse also has the promise that we will not only have temptation but we will also have the opportunity to endure. Can you imagine the sight in heaven when all people, who have endured for the Lord, are gathered around the throne of God? Oh, it is worth every trial to be counted worthy to be a part of that heavenly host!
