It is those who accept the warnings and cautions given them who will walk in safe paths. Let not men yield to the burning desire to become great leaders, or to the desire independently to devise and lay plans for themselves and for the work of God. It is easy for the enemy to work through some who, having themselves need of counsel at every step, undertake the guardianship of souls without having learned the lowliness of Christ. These need counsel from the One who says, “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden.” {TM 501.3}

Det er dem der tager imod advarsler som vil vandre på sikre stier. Lad ikke mennesker vige for det brændende ønske om at blive leder, eller ønsket om at uafhængigt at udtænke og lægge planer for dem selv og for Guds arbejde. Det er let for fjenden at arbejde gennem nogle som, selv har brug for råd ved ethvert skridt, påtage sig beskyttelse af andre sjæle uden at have lært Kristi beskedenhed. Disse behøver råd fra ham som siger, »Kom hid til mig, alle I som er trætte og tyngede af byrder.«
