Walk in the Light, November 13
Victory in the Conflict
O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them
bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
Psalm 43:3
In these days of peril we should be exceedingly careful not to reject
the rays of light which Heaven in mercy sends us, for it is by these that
we are to discern the devices of the enemy. We need light from Heaven
every hour, that we may distinguish between the sacred and the common,
the eternal and the temporal. If left to ourselves, we shall blunder at every
step; we shall incline to the world, we shall shun self-denial, and see no
necessity for constant watchfulness and prayer, and we shall be taken
captive by Satan at his will. Some are today in this position. Having
refused the light which God has sent them, they know not at what they
stumble.
All whose names shall at last be found written in the Lamb’s book
of life will fight manfully the battles of the Lord. They will labor most
earnestly to discern and put away temptations and every evil thing. They
will feel that the eye of God is upon them and that the strictest fidelity
is required. As faithful sentinels they will keep the passage barred, that
Satan may not pass them disguised as an angel of light to work his work
of death in their midst....
The white-robed ones who surround the throne of God are not com-
posed of that company who were lovers of pleasures more than lovers
of God, and who choose to drift with the current rather than to breast
the waves of opposition. All who remain pure and uncorrupted from
the spirit and influence prevailing at this time will have stern conflicts.
They will come through great tribulation; they will wash their robes of
character and make them white in the blood of the Lamb. These will
sing the song of triumph in the kingdom of glory.
