“We should become more familiar with good than with evil, and guard against false beliefs as watchfully as we bar our door against the approach of murderers and thieves.” S&H

That really shows how strongly we need to guard our thinking—like against murderers and thieves! Wrong thoughts could “steal” and “murder” our best intentions and divert us into the wrong path, if we don’t catch them quickly. Even what seem to be innocent suggestions like “I’ll do it later,” etc., when God says to move–or petty irritations and resentments. Being “more familiar with good” helps us detect the evil suggestions more easily, be repelled by them, and gives us the courage to kick them out and do right! Great Lesson—thank you!
