Growing up it was fun to pretend to be kings and queens with beautiful crowns that shined with jewels for miles away. Now that we are adults we have our crowns, not actual crowns but life. Crowns represents what kind of life we have. Is our life crowned with joy, peace and prosperity? Is our life crowned misery, worry and struggle?
If you have a crown of life that is basically like the crown of thorns they gave Jesus on the cross be encouraged because the bad crown can be turned into a gold crown filled with jewels. The Bible says in Proverbs 14:24 "The crown of the wise is their riches, but the foolishness of fools is folly." The Bible defines the wise as those who honor God with their lives. We honor Him by seeking Him first. First does not mean just the time of day but first in our thoughts and the way we live. We must put God first in our hearts and seek His will in every area of our lives we are wise. If we do this we will receive a crown that is full of riches. Riches are not just money but also include peace, joy, strength. We need these spiritual characteristics to stand against the trials so when around us are not perfect we remain grounded full of joy, peace strength that is everlasting.
Choose to wear the crown of the wise. Choose to put God first in every are of your life.
