DAILY READINGS: Judges 16; Isaiah 35; 1 Corinthians 13 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Matthew 5:11 In a graveyard in the Parish Church of Cupar in Scotland is a headstone which says “Here lies interred the heads of Laurance Hay and Andrew Pitulloch who suffered martyrdom at Edinburgh for adhering to the word of God.” Many of us may have had little experience of real suffering because of our faith in Christ. Let us remember the many today who do suffer for being a Christian. —Brian Powlesland O how sweet is this assurance ‘midst the conflict and the strife;
Although sorrows past endurance, follow me through life.
Home in prospect still can cheer me, yes and give me sweet repose,
While I feel His presence near me: for my Father knows.—Anon. |
