Thought for January 31

[Thompson, Darryl]

      Many are sailing in a dangerous harbor. They need a pilot; but
they scorn to accept the much-needed help, feeling that they are
competent to guide their own bark, and not realizing that it is about to
strike a hidden rock that may cause them to make shipwreck of faith and
happiness. . . .  Unless they are diligent students of that word [the
Bible], they will make grave mistakes which will mar their happiness and
that of others, both for the present and the future life.   Adventist
