Through that gift there comes to us day by day the unfailing flow of Jehovah's goodness... There is not an article of food upon our tables that He has not provided for our sustenance... Everything is supplied to man through the one unspeakable Gift, the only-begotten Son of God. He was nailed to the cross that all these bounties might flow to God's workmanship.

The weaker and more helpless you know yourself to be, the stronger will you become in His strength. The heavier your burdens, the more blessed the rest in casting them upon the Burden Bearer. The rest that Christ offers depends upon conditions, but these conditions are plainly specified. They are those with which all can comply. He tells us just how His rest is to be found.

We shall love to talk of Him; and as we speak to one another of His love, our hearts will be softened by divine influences.

White Thought for the Day Visit us at http://www.whiteestate.org ----------------------------------------------------- With the terrible weight of the sins of the world upon Him, Christ withstood the test upon appetite, upon the love of the world, and upon that love of display which leads to presumption. These were temptations that overcame Adam and Eve, and that so readily overcome us. The Desire of Ages, p. 116.

But our Saviour took humanity, with all its liabilities. He took the nature of man, with the possibility of yielding to temptation. We have nothing to bear which He has not endured.

He attacks our weak points of character. He seeks to shake our confidence in God, who suffers such a condition of things to exist. The Desire of Ages, p. 120.

He hopes to discourage the soul, and to break our hold on God... If we would meet him as Jesus did, we should escape many a defeat. By parleying with the enemy, we give him an advantage.

White Thought for the Day Visit us at http://www.whiteestate.org ----------------------------------------------------- The tempter can never compel us to do evil. He cannot control minds unless they are yielded to his control. The will must consent, faith must let go its hold upon Christ, before Satan can exercise his power upon us. But every sinful desire we cherish affords him a foothold. Every point in which we fail of meeting the divine standard is an open door by which he can enter to tempt and destroy us.

White Thought for the Day Visit us at http://www.whiteestate.org ----------------------------------------------------- But faith is in no sense allied to presumption. Only he who has true faith is secure against presumption. For presumption is Satan's counterfeit of faith. Faith claims God's promises, and brings forth fruit in obedience. Presumption also claims the promises, but uses them as Satan did, to excuse transgression. Desire of Ages, p. 126.

White Thought for the Day Visit us at http://www.whiteestate.org ----------------------------------------------------- Often when Satan has failed of exciting distrust, he succeeds in leading us to presumption. If he can cause us to place ourselves unnecessarily in the way of temptation, he knows that the victory is his. God will preserve all who walk in the path of obedience; but to depart from it is to venture on Satan's ground. There we are sure to fall. The Desire of Ages, p. 126.
