Resisting Temptation. The people of God have allowed many things to come in between their souls and God, and their thoughts of God have been far below what it is their privilege to have. They are not on the high vantage ground where God would have them, and they should realize this keenly, that they may repent and turn to God with all the heart. It is sad to think that though they have professed the truth for these many years, many have failed to understand how to take God at his word, that they may be strengthened in the time of temptation.

Guds folk har ladet mange komme ind imellem deres sjæle og Gud, og deres tanker om Gud er blevet langt under hvad det er deres privilegium at have. De har ikke det store overblik som Gud ønsker at de skal have, og de bør erkende dette helt, så de må angre og vende sig til Gud af hele hjertet. Det er sørgeligt at tænke på at selvom de har bekendt sandheden i disse mange år, har mange ikke forstået at tage Gud på hans ord, så de får styrke i fristelsens stund.
