There is danger that men will receive the counsel of men, when by so doing they will discard the counsel of God. Oh, what lessons all must learn before they will understand that God seeth not as man seeth. The Lord says: “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways.... For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8, 9. Unless there is a decided reformation among the people of God, He will turn His face from them. {8T 146.1}

Der er fare for at mennesker, ved at få menneskers råd, vil opgive Guds råd. Oh, hvilke lektier må alle ikke lære før de kan forstå at Gud ikke ser som mennesker ser. Herren siger: »Thi mine tanker er ej eders og eders veje ej mine, ..... som himlen er højere end jorden, er mine veje højere end eders og mine tanker højere end eders. Es.55,8.9. Hvis der ikke sker en bestemt fornyelse blandt Guds folk, vil han vende sit ansigt fra dem.
