“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for A TESTIMONY AGAINST THEM and the Gentiles.” Matthew 10:16-18, KJV
“And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for A TESTIMONY AGAINST THEM. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.” Mark 6:10-11, KJV
“But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for A TESTIMONY AGAINST THEM.” Mark 13:9, KJV
“And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for A TESTIMONY AGAINST THEM.” Luke 9:4-5, KJV
I once knew a man who ran the race,
But he fell flat right on his face.
In the flesh he had tried so hard,
But he couldn’t make the final yard.
With good works he sought 1st place,
But he ran out of steam in disgrace.
For it’s only by faith and God’s Grace,
That the course we’ll be able to ace.
Attempting to win in our own strength,
Only leads to disappointment at length.
So trust in God and His great power,
He’ll see you through to the final hour.
