The only way to meet the modern demon-stration of the powers of darkness is by a demonstration of the power of God.

When we are weakest and most despondent, Jesus is most considerate. When there is a break in our progress or we have a spell of depression, he sees the whole of our lives and in the light of that He is longsuffering with discordant details.
