Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. <\/p>\n<p>Observation: Jesus said we will have trials and tribulation and yet we are called to rejoice when we are persecuted for the name of Christ.  There is nothing we go through on this earth that God isn\u2019t with us we suffer when we focus on the trial instead of our Savior.  God will get us through whatever comes along and then when we do persevere, we get the crown of life when we get home. <\/p>\n<p>Application: I\u2019ve been blessed lately and haven\u2019t undergone any real trial in a while, but that doesn\u2019t mean I won\u2019t.  I need to stay close to God and His will for me each day and look for opportunities that He puts before me.  I want the crown of life, not because I deserve it but I want that opportunity to put it before the thrown of God.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer My Lord, I thank you for the many blessings you have given me in my life.  I thank you especially for the walks at the strand and the people you surround me with.  Please continue to walk with me, I love spending time with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture Revelation 2:10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer.
