JULY 31 MORNING

Endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ—II TIM. 2:3.

I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and a commander to the people.—It became him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering.—We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God.—We do not war after the flesh: (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.)

The God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Isa. 55:4. -Heb. 2:10. -Acts 14:22.Eph. 6:12,13. -II Cor. 10:3,4.I Pet. 5:10.
