How to Prepare
The servants of Christ are to prepare no set speech to present when
brought to trial for their faith. Their preparation is to be made day
by day, in treasuring up in their hearts the precious truths of God’s
Word, in feeding upon the teaching of Christ, and through prayer
strengthening their faith; then, when brought into trial, the Holy Spirit
will bring to their remembrance the very truths that will reach the
hearts of those who shall come to hear.
God will flash the knowledge obtained by diligent searching of
the Scriptures, into their memory at the very time when it is needed.
But if they neglect to fill their minds with the gems of truth, if they
[107]
do not acquaint themselves with the words of Christ, if they have
never tasted the power of His grace in trial, then they can not expect
that the Holy Spirit will bring His words to their remembrance. They
are to serve God daily with their undivided affections, and then trust
Him.—
Sabbath-School Worker, October, 1896
