You may ask, how can one believe in God’s Love and Wisdom when such evil subversive forces are permitted to do the terrible things they do in the world?

We have tried to show in this article that God utilizes all persons, things, conditions, and even the Devil, to serve His Will and Purpose, Which are always Wise and Good. Without all such agencies that can be used to try out and test His children from time to time, and thus develop their spiritual strength and understanding of His Will, how could it be known when any of them are ready for promotion or examination time?

Those who yield to the wiles of the tempter are but the ones who have not yet eliminated from their consciousness the desire for the things of the world, the flesh and the devil. But in time all will learn what is not the Father’s will for them—through the suffering they will endure after listening and yielding to the seductions of Satan and his agents.

When one understands the nature of such forces and the purpose they serve, one examines very closely every impulse and suggestion that enters the mind; for no man can become master of himself until he is fully conscious of the source and purpose of every thought he thinks, every word he says, and every thing he does, and only KNOWS that they are wholly acceptable to God, Whom alone he serves.
