Thought for April 17

[Thompson, Darryl]

     Day by day God instructs His children. By the circumstances of the
daily life He is preparing them to act their part upon that wider stage
to which His providence has appointed them. It is the issue of the daily
test that determines their victory or defeat in life's great crisis.
     Those who fail to realize their constant dependence upon God will
be overcome by temptation.
