DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 7:11-38; Psalm 107; Acts 28:17-31
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Acts 14:22
Tribulations and troubles of various kinds are frequently encountered along the Christian pathway. The apostles preached a wellrounded message of peace and hope in the midst of sufferings. They did not sugarcoat the message, much less proclaim prosperity in this life to their hearers. They candidly told the new converts of the difficulties ahead, while assuring them that their resources in Christ were able to strengthen them and carry them safely to heaven. —K. R. Keyser
Though thy way be long and dreary, eagle strength He’ll still renew,
Garments fresh and foot unweary, tell how God hath brought thee through.—J. N. Darby
