- When we read the thoughts of
those saints whose lives thrill us the most, we find that they, like
us, had to get through life one hour at a time. Can you imagine how
lackluster the pages would be if there were one account after another
of lovely afternoons and extravagant leisure? The thrill comes from
hearing that another traveler on the beaten path has seen the same sights,
stumbled in the same places, and nursed the same bruises AND pressed
on. Because it is in the account of the pressing on where the story
will prove God. The deepest riches "hidden in Christ" are those which
are opened up to those who "endure to the end". An often misunderstood
phrase, this is a passage of scripture which makes it clear that we
do not serve a cheap Lord. If we are truly attracted to Him, we will
stay the course, and will leave the result up to Him. When we get to
heaven we will find that the faithful on earth were heard saying "Though
He slay me, yet will I trust Him".
