Section 3—The Christian Physician and His Work
59
Their words will be of such a character that impressions for good
will be made upon minds....
Open every window heavenward, welcoming the bright, heav-
enly rays of the Sun of Righteousness. “The fear of the Lord is
[34]
the beginning of wisdom.” Living and working under the constant
impression, “Lo, God is here,” brings a hallowed influence, which
the Spirit is ever impressing on heart and mind.—
Manuscript 33,
1901.
A Pattern of Good Judgment
The Lord wants you to be cheerful, and to have cheerful words
for the sick. Let the Sun of Righteousness shine forth in your fea-
tures. Be very decided in your religious service. Make the Lord
Jesus your confidant. Make your aim a high one, and let your attain-
ments be higher and higher still in the knowledge of your Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ.—
Letter 128, 1905

Heavenly Assistants
The time that has been spent in communing with God, in seeking
His help before undertaking to relieve those who were in a criti-
cal condition, has brought angels to the side of the doctor and his
assistants. You have succeeded according as you have trusted in
God. He has been by your side just as verily as Christ was by the
side of those who were suffering when He walked among them on
earth.”—

Give God the Glory
God will work with every Christian physician. And to Him the
physician is to give the honor and glory for the success that attends
his work. The only safety for physicians is in walking and working
in humility and faith....
You are wholly dependent upon the Great Physician for the
ability and power to do good work. Cling to Jesus. He will give you
sharpness of intellect to discern with readiness, and steadiness of
nerve to execute with precision.—
