Strength & Perseverance
Pain, if patiently endured, and sanctified to us, is a great purifier of our corrupted nature.
Mortification itself, when once practised, is the greatest pleasure in the world.
In Christ Jesus you shall have the strength you stand in need of, the devil shall have no power; therefore fear not, for in the name of the Lord we shall overcome all our spiritual Amalekites.
The very moment we desert our post, the enemy rushes in.
