Open to God, Closed to Evil

“Some people are like a door, open to every influence, good or evil. Such souls God has to fence around with boards of cedar. There is little reserve, little sacredness, and, of course, little security for such a spirit. Others are like a wall, closed against the entrance of temptation and evil, locked on the inside, and open only to the heavenly Proprietor. On such a foundation God says he will build a palace of silver. These are times when we need not only to be open to all that God has to say and impart, but closed against the wiles of the adversary.”
