least....Do not forecast where the temptation will come, it is the
least likely thing that is the peril....is not dominant, but remember
it is there, and if you are not warned, it will trip you up. You have
remained true to God under great and intense trials, now beware of the
undercurrent. Do not be morbidly introspective, looking forward with
dread, but keep alert; keep your memory bright before God. - CHAMBERS
Christian, seek not yet repose,
Hear thy gracious Savior say;
Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray.
Principalities and powers,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for thy unguarded hours:
Watch and pray.
Gird thy heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
Watch and pray.
Hear the victors who o'ercame,
Still they mark each warrior's way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
Watch and pray.
Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word:
Watch and pray.
Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.
by Miss Charlotte Elliott (1789-1871)
