God help you to follow His banner, and serve Him wherever you go, and when you are tempted my brother, may God give you the grace to say no.” All of us who have been saved are tempted daily, and we need God’s grace to be able to say no. We also need encouragement from others, as we strive to live our lives for Christ.

“O, brother, life’s journey’s beginning, with courage and firmness arise, look well to the course thou art choosing, be earnest, be watchful, and wise. Remember, two paths are before you, and both thy attention invite, but one leadeth on to destruction, the other to joy and delight. O, brother, yield not to the tempter, no matter what others may do, stand firm in the strength of the Master, be loyal, and faithful, and true. Each trial will make you the stronger, if you, in the name of the Lord, fight manfully under your Leader, obeying the voice of His word.  O, brother, the Savior is calling, beware of the dangers of sin, resist not the voice of the Spirit, that whispers so gently within; God calls you to enter His service to live for Him here day by day, and share by and by in His glory, that never shall vanish away.” Amen!
