Persevere under trial

You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the miraculous signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the LORD your God brought you out... (Deut 7:19)

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. (Jas 1:2) In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. (1Pe 1:6) But out of the most severe trial, your overflowing joy and your extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. (2Co 8:2) Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him. (Jas 1:12) Rejoice and never give up on Him. Hear Him!
