Alas, how many of God’s
true children become weary and faint in their minds, and are in
danger of losing the chief prize because they have failed to
think upon, to study out, to comprehend, to consider the
Lord and what He faithfully endured of opposition! As they would
consider His perfection and how, as represented in Him, the
light shone in darkness and was not appreciated, so they would
expect that the light shining from them would not be appreciated
either. As they would consider how the Lord suffered in every
sense unjustly and for righteousness’ sake, and then would reflect
that their own conduct, even though well-meant, is imperfect,
it would strengthen them to endure hardness as good soldiers, and
not to be weary in well-doing, and not to faint under
opposition. |
