Testimonies for the Church, Volume 2 - Ellen G. White

eceive anything of the Lord. A caution is here
given not to become weary, but to rest firmly upon
the promise. If you ask, He will give you liberally
and upbraid not.
Here is where many make a mistake. They
waver from their purpose, and their faith fails. This
is the reason they receive nothing of the Lord, who
is our Source of strength. None need go in
darkness, stumbling along like a blind man; for the
Lord has provided light if they will accept it in His
appointed way, and not choose their own way. He
requires of all a diligent performance of everyday
duties. Especially is this required of all who are
engaged in the solemn, important work in the
office of publication, both of those upon whom rest
the more weighty responsibilities of the work, and
of those who bear the least responsibilities. This
can be done only by looking to God for ability to
enable them faithfully to perform what is right in
the sight of Heaven, doing all things as though
governed by unselfish motives, as if the eye of God
were visible to all, looking upon all, and
investigating the acts of all.
