 God Sends Us Light to Correct Our Errors and to Lead Us in Safe Paths ㅡ

 “He that refuses instruction despises his own soul: but he that hears reproof gets understanding.” (Proverbs 15:32)

 It is not God that blinds the eyes of men or hardens their hearts.

 He sends them light to correct their errors, and to lead them in safe paths; it is by the rejection of this light that the eyes are blinded and the heart hardened.

 Often the process is gradual, and almost imperceptible.

 Light comes to the soul through God’s word, through His servants, or by the direct agency of His Spirit; but when one ray of light is disregarded, there is a partial benumbing of the spiritual perceptions, and the second revealing of light is less clearly discerned.

 So the darkness increases, until it is night in the soul. 

 In the time of trouble just before the coming of Christ, the righteous will be preserved through the ministration of heavenly angels; but there will be no security for the transgressor of God’s law.

 Angels cannot then protect those who are disregarding one of the divine precepts.

 (The Desire of Ages 322; Patriarchs and Prophets 256)
