Listen from:
SA 40Faithful endurance, in the day of such manifest weakness that the enemy scoffs, as despising the oppressed righteous; but in that day He confesses the Lord as His trust, and triumphs in spirit, in the deep and blessed intelligence of the things to follow after-such the actings of the Spirit of Christ.
SA 12Psa. 12
The poor and the needy, in the midst of abounding and prevailing evil, turns to the Lord for help, and in Him finds relief; His pure words to sustain the heart, in place of words of vanity that grieve, that vex a righteous soul; and in this peaceful repose of faith all is blessed triumph for the afflicted and poor people: such was the patient endurance of Christ in the day of His humiliation, and such the spirit of faith, in the saints now sustained by Him, who suffered, being tempted.
