Glorifying in Persecution
Galatians 4:29
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.


Paul and Silas had their prison songs in their prison sufferings. Those caged birds sing with as much melody as any that have sky liberty. Thus Ignatius, in his epistle, glorified, saying: "The wild beasts may grind me as corn between their teeth: but I shall by that become as choice bread in the hand of my God."

(Archbishop Secker.)
