Proverbs 24:10

Proverbs 24:10

I. The special object of all the training and discipline through which we pass in life is the increase of strength.

II. Every life has its day of adversity. It is in the day of adversity that a man's character is tested. Adversity makes or mars a man. A man is either the better or the worse for the trial through which he has passed.

III. Think what it is to faint as a Christian. It is to distrust God. Let us glorify God in loss, in suffering, in waiting.
