Thought for April 4

[Thompson, Darryl]

     Satan is marshaling his hosts; and are we individually prepared for
the fearful conflict that is just before us? Are we preparing our
children for the great crisis? Are we preparing ourselves and our
households to understand the position of our adversaries and their modes
of warfare? Are our children forming habits of decision, that they may
be firm and unyielding in every matter of principle and duty? I pray
that we all may understand the signs of the times, and that we may so
prepare ourselves and our children that in the time of conflict God may
be our refuge and defense.  Adventist Home, p. 187
