"An envoy was sent to the nations to say, Rise, let us go against her for battle- " Obadiah 1:1

"Not only so, but we rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perserverence; perserverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."- Romans 5:3-4
