Whoever neglects the
Lord’s commands along this line of “evil surmisings” weaves a web
for his own ensnarement, however “circumspectly” he may walk as
respects other matters; for a heart impregnated with doubt and
suspicion toward fellow creatures is more than half prepared to
doubt God: the spirit of sourness and bitterness is at war with the
spirit of the Lord, the spirit of love. Either the one or the other
will conquer. The wrong spirit must be gotten rid of, or it will
defile the Christian and make of him a “castaway.” On the contrary,
if the new nature conquer, as an “overcomer,” it will be along this
line: if evil surmisings are overcome, half the battle against
present difficulties and besetments is
won. |
