Strength & Perseverance
Arise, for the matter belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.
Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.
He that bids thee pray without ceasing; he that bids thee hear, bids thee wait at the posts of wisdom. Thou wouldst reason thus, God hath set me on duty, and here I will stand, till God takes me off.
I believe that the Lord tacketh His ship often to fetch the wind, and that He purposeth to bring mercy out of your sufferings and silence, which is grievous to you. Seeing that He knoweth our willing mind to serve Him, our wages and stipend is running to the fore with our God, even as some sick soldiers get pay, when they are bedfast and not able to go to the field with others. Suffering is the other half of our ministry, howbeit the hardest; for we would be content that our King Jesus should make an open proclamation, and cry down crosses, and cry up joy, gladness, ease, honor, and peace.
Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.
We will work until Jesus comes, and then we will rise with Him. We have been asleep long enough.
Yahweh looked at him, and said, Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Haven’t I sent you?
And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
He that hideth his talent shall receive the wages of a slothful servant.
