 Is it not an honor to share the shame that the world casts on our Lord in spurning Him? (1 Samuel 8 by H.L. Rossier)
 Precious encouragement given by God to His servant at the very moment when he was personally undergoing a discipline of which the elders of Israel had become the instruments. Nothing could be more consoling to his heart than the assurance of being, after all, on the Lord's side, and now that the Lord had been rejected, the necessity of being rejected himself as well. (September 24: A Promise to Meet Every Fear by F.R. Havergal)
