James 1:12- 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.
Many amusement parks are well-known for their roller-coasters. Montu, a popular roller-coaster, ranks #3 on Entertainment Designer's list of "10 Most Insane Loop-the-Loop Roller-Coasters." Located at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida, this roller-coaster has seven loops, with many twists and turns that the rider may not expect. Life is like a roller-coaster. It has its ups, but it also has its downs. Life gets tough at times. Sometimes, things happen to us that we would've never expected. Sometimes, we get stressed and frustrated. You may be thinking, "Things will never get better. There's no way out of this situation." With God, there is always a way. With God, things will get better. God will make a way when it seems as if there is no way out. The situation you may be facing right now may look impossible to overcome, but with God, everything is possible. God only gives us what He knows we can handle. I may not know what you are going through right now, but I can assure you this: God is faithful. God is greater and much bigger than the situation you are in right now. Why stress about it when you can hand it over to God? Give it to Him, and he will turn around that situation for your good and for His glory. Leave it in His hands, and He'll take care of it. Trust in the One who moves moves mountains that may seem impossible to move. God did not promise that we would never encounter trials, but He has promised to never leave us on our own (Hebrews 13:5). Keep pushing through, and you'll receive the "crown of life." His grace will carry you through and make you stronger than ever before.
