CONTINUANCE.

It is a good thing to stick, if one only has something to stick to. Stubbornness on the wrong side is a great fault, but steadfastness in the right is most praiseworthy. The psalmist said, "I have stuck unto thy testimonies; O Lord, put me not to shame." The man who takes God's testimonies for an heritage and who sticks to them in health and in sickness, in wealth and in poverty, in prosperity and in adversity, will never be put to shame. It is when men forsake the law and word of God, that they involve themselves in trouble. So long as they abide in him, and stick to the word of God, there is nothing else on which to build our faith and hope. Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock.—The Armory.
