Of course, it is hard to effect
this full surrender. But if man
makes but the slightest effort towards it,
the Lord Himself will confer the courage
to pursue it to the end.
He will walk with him and
help him as a friend;
He will lead him as a Guide;
He will guard him from evil and temptation;
He will be his staff and support.
He has said, "This course of action,
if followed even to a small extent,
will save him from terrifying fear".
To follow righteousness is itself
a source of joy; it is the path least
beset with hurdles. That is the Teaching of the Lord.
