to Him. {2MCP 694.1}
You cannot control your impulses, your emotions, as you may desire; but you can
control the will, and you can make an entire change in your life. By yielding up your will
to Christ, your life will be hid with Christ in God and allied to the power which is above
all principalities and powers. You will have strength from God that will hold you fast to
His strength; and a new light, even the light of living faith, will be possible to you. But
your will must cooperate with God's will.--5T 513, 514 (1889). {2MCP 694.2}
The Link That Binds With Divine Energy.--We are laborers together with God.
This is the Lord's own wise arrangement. The cooperation of the human will and
endeavor with divine energy is the link that binds men up with one another and with
God. The apostle says, "We are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry,
ye are God's building" (1 Corinthians 3:9). Man is to work with the facilities God has
given him. "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling," He says. "For it is
God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:12,
13).--MS 113, 1898. {2MCP 694.3}
When the will is placed on the Lord's side, the Holy Spirit takes that will and makes it
one with the divine will.--Lt 44, 1899. {2MCP 694.4}

God's Work and Science.--Human knowledge of both material and spiritual things
is partial and imperfect; therefore many are unable to harmonize their views of science
with Scripture statements. Many accept mere theories and speculations as scientific
facts, and they think that God's Word is to be tested by the teachings of "science falsely
so called" (1 Timothy 6:20). The Creator and His works are beyond their
comprehension; and because they cannot explain these by natural laws, Bible history is
regarded as unreliable. Those who doubt the reliability of the records of the Old and
New Testaments too often go a step further and doubt the existence of God and
attribute infinite power to nature. Having let go their anchor, they are left to beat about
upon the rocks of infidelity.--GC 522 (1911). {2MCP 697.1}
More Than Worldly Science Needed.--Let us go to the Word of God for guidance.
Let us seek for a "Thus saith the Lord." We have had enough of human methods. A
mind trained only in worldly science will fail to understand the things of God; but the
same mind, converted

and sanctified, will see the divine power in the Word. Only the mind and heart cleansed
