Striving with the Remnant
By N. Grant
Bro. N. Grant writes from Knox Co., Ohio: I believe we are living in the last days, when the dragon is to be wroth with the woman, and make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. I am still striving to be an overcomer, and go through to the kingdom with the tried people of God. Although I feel my weakness and unfitness to be one among them, yet I feel determined by the grace of God to go with the remnant. I realize that we are living in the days when sin is increasing on every hand, and it is only by constant prayer and watching that we can overcome our evil ways. I feel thankful for the paper, and encouraged when I read the testimonies from the tempted and tried ones. Many times I see lines from those that have trials like mine, and my prayer is for such, that God in his great mercy will bless them, and hasten on the day when we shall have our companions with us in trying to lead our children to that blessed land where there will be no more sighing of kind parents for beloved children. Lord have mercy on the youth. I feel thankful for the light of present truth, and for the health reform; I am trying to live it out as well as circumstances will permit. I find that I fall when I do my best, but God has promised to help us in time of need, and he has helped me to overcome much that is sinful in his sight, and hurtful to my health. How good and kind the Lord is to sinful man. Soon we shall see him coming in the clouds of heaven. Who will be able to stand? Shall I?
