Teachers will meet with trials. Discouragements will press upon them as they see their work unappreciated. Satan will strive to afflict them with bodily infirmities, hoping to lead them to murmur against God, to close their eyes to His goodness, His mercy, His love, and the exceeding weight of glory that awaits the overcomer. At such times let teachers remember that God is leading them to more perfect confidence in Him. If in their perplexity they will look to Him in faith, He will bring them from the furnace of trial refined and purified as gold tried in the fire. {CT 317.3}

Lærere vil møde prøvelser. Skuffelser vil trykke dem når de ser at deres arbejde ikke bliver påskønnet. Satan vil bestræbe sig på at påvirke dem med kropslige sygdomme, håbe få dem til at knurre imod Gud, lukke deres øjne mod Hans godhed, Hans barmhjertighed, Hans kærlighed, og overmådelige herlighedsvægt der venter sejrherren. Lad lærerne ved disse stunder huske på at Gud leder dem til en mere fuldkommen tillid til Ham. I deres rådvildhed vil de se på Ham i tro. Han vil bringe forædlede ud af trængslens ovn, som guld prøvet i ilden.
