Thought for May 27

[Thought for the Day]

     Near the close of this earth's history Satan will work with all his
powers in the same manner and with the same temptations wherewith he
tempted ancient Israel just before their entering the Land of Promise.
He will lay snares for those who claim to keep the commandments of God,
and who are almost on the borders of the heavenly Canaan. He will use
his powers to their utmost in order to entrap souls and to take God's
professed people upon their weakest points. Those who have not brought
the lower passions into subjection to the higher powers of their being,
those who have allowed their minds to flow in a channel of carnal
indulgence of the baser passions, Satan is determined to destroy with
his temptations--to pollute their souls with licentiousness. Adventist
