"Satan, on the one side, is striving to press you into his service;
Christ, on the other, is seeking to win and draw you to himself.
You cannot become victor over Satan's devices without fierce conflicts with inclination.
Satan, striving for the mastery, is determined to conquer.
Every faculty is to be strictly guarded and held loyal to God.
Those souls that have not realized that the follower of Christ must subordinate every power that has been bestowed upon him to the will of God, will be drawn into the nets which Satan has carefully woven for their inexperienced feet.
They cannot see that it is required of them to bring every thought into captivity to Christ.
This restraint is to them a galling yoke.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8)."
The Watchman E.G.W.
