NOVEMBER 29
Let us hold fast the
profession of our faith without wavering; for he, is faithful that
promised—Heb.
10:23. |
|
God’s promise is the
foundation upon which all that we hope for, either of character or
coming glory, is built. Let us prize this truth so that we will not
compromise it in any sense or in any degree; let us not only hold
the Truth in the letter but also in the spirit—in the love of it,
because it is true, as well as because it is beautiful and grand.
And let us ever remember the importance of patient endurance,
that we may not only cultivate the Christian
graces, and practice them, but that we may take joyfully the
trials, persecutions or difficulties which God may see proper to
permit to come upon us for our testing and character development,
which He explains to us is of paramount importance, and without
which perfect love could neither be attained nor
maintained. |
