White Thought for the Day Visit us at http://www.whiteestate.org ----------------------------------------------------- Many attend religious services, and are refreshed and comforted by the word of God; but through neglect of meditation, watchfulness, and prayer, they lose the blessing, and find themselves more destitute than before they received it. Often they feel that God has dealt hardly with them. They do not see that the fault is their own. By separating themselves from Jesus, they have shut away the light of His presence.

White Thought for the Day Visit us at http://www.whiteestate.org ----------------------------------------------------- It would be well for us to spend a thoughtful hour each day in contemplation of the life of Christ. We should take it point by point, and let the imagination grasp each scene, especially the closing ones. As we thus dwell upon His great sacrifice for us, our confidence in Him will be more constant, our love will be quickened, and we shall be more deeply imbued with His spirit. Desire of Ages, p. 83.

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. Beholding the beauty of His character, we shall be "changed into the same image from glory to glory. Desire of Ages, p. 83.

These were temptations that overcame Adam and Eve, and that so readily overcome us. 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 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.

"By every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" are we to live. When assailed by temptation, look not to circumstances or to the weakness of self, but to the power of the word.

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.
