Acquiring Perseverance

"The LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little"
(Deuteronomy 7:22).

We are not to expect to win victories for the LORD Jesus by a single blow. Evil
principles and practices die hard. In some places it takes years of labor to
drive out even one of the many vices which defile the inhabitants. We must
carry on the war with all our might, even when favored with little manifest
success.

Our business in this world is to conquer it for Jesus. We are not to make
compromises but to exterminate evils. We are not to seek popularity but to wage
unceasing war with iniquity. Infidelity, popery, drink, impurity, oppression,
worldliness, error; these are all to be "put out."

The LORD our God can alone accomplish this. He works by His faithful servants,
and blessed be His name. He promises that He will so work. "Jehovah thy God
will put out those nations before thee." This He will do by degrees that we may
learn perseverance, may increase in faith, may earnestly watch, and may avoid
carnal security. Let us thank God for a little success and pray for more. Let
us never sheathe the sword till the whole land is won for Jesus.

Courage, my heart! Go on little by little, for many littles will make a great
whole.

He “gave himself for me.ö Gal. 2. 20; Luke 22. 19


1 That doleful night before his death, The Lamb, for sinners slain,
Did almost with his latest breath
This solemn feast ordain.

2 To keep thy feast, Lord, are we met, And to remember thee;
Help each poor trembler to repeat,
“For me he died, for me.ö

3 Thy sufferings, Lord, each sacred sign To our remembrance brings;
We eat the bread and drink the wine, But think on nobler things.

4 O tune our tongues, and set in frame Each heart that pants to thee,
To sing, “Hosanna to the Lamb,
The Lamb that died for me!ö
