If you are going to serve the lord, be prepared for times when you will be put to the test. Be sincere & determined. Keep calm when trouble comes. Stay with the lord; never abandon him, & you will be prosperous at the end of your days. Accept whatever happens to you. Even if you suffer humiliation, be patient. Gold is tested by fire, & human character is tested in the furnance of humiliation. Trust the lord & he will help you. Walk straight in his ways, & put your hope in him.
