[Songs in the Night - June 16] < >
Giving no offense in anything, that the ministry be not blamed: By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned. II Corinthians 6:3, 6
THE purer the person, the more surely will he be
the target.
You notice that the speckled birds are
more a mark for the huntsman than are the others.
Thus all who are bearing the vessels of the Lord's
house are special targets for the fiery darts of the
wicked one.
So we must contend against the world,
the flesh, and the Adversary.
Those who are in the
right condition of heart, the pure in heart, earnest as
the Lord's children, watch to keep their garments
clean.
Unless they watch, they will surely get their
garments defiled.
Satan is especially endeavoring to
touch them; and we know that wherever he would
touch there is defilement.
Whomever the wicked one
touches receives a measure of injury.
And there is
a measure of culpability in the individual before he is
touched. Z'13-185 R5259:5 (Hymn 258)
