 God Abides with Him Who Lives According to His Command ㅡ

 “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” (Joshua 1:8,9)

 Calumny and reproach will be the recompense of those who stand for the truth as it is in Jesus. “All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12).

 Those who bear a plain testimony against sin will as surely be hated as was the Master who gave them this work to do in His name.

 Like Christ, they will be called the enemies of the church and of religion, and the more earnest and true their efforts to honor God, the more bitter will be the enmity of the ungodly and hypocritical. But we should not be discouraged when thus treated.

 We may be called “weak and foolish,” enthusiastic, even insane. It may be said of us as it was of Christ, “He hath a devil” (John 10:20).

 But the work which the Master has given us to do is our work still.

 We must direct minds to Jesus, not seeking praise or honor of men, but committing ourselves to Him who judgeth righteously.

 He knows how to help those who while following in His steps suffer in a limited degree the reproach He bore.

 He was tempted in all points like as we are, that He might know how to succor those who should be tempted.
