Principles and Practices - February 8

The Necessary Duty

The realization of the presence of God is the reliable safeguard against sin. It is the only way to keep the proper object of life in view, and to make sure that the motive of conduct is right. Unless we see God somehow in everything we do we shall never get the support we need to purify our intention, and to finish our task. To remember God means to fight valiantly all the time of trials and to persevere till the victory is won. How can it be done?
