This from A.W. Tozer, "...let us remember that the way of the cross is never easy. The shine and glamour accompanying popular religious movements is as false as the sheen on the wings of the angel of darkness when he, for a moment, transforms himself into an angel of light. The spiritual timidity that fears to show the cross in its true character is not, on any grounds, to be excused. It can result only in disappointment and tragedy at last."
How many times have I been dazzled by the "sheen on the wings of the angle of darkness" in my life! Lord, strengthen my resolve to stand firm and proclaim You as my true Lord and Savior. Keep my soul from even glancing to the right or to the left. May it be ever, and strongly, attentive and focused on You only.
