Whoever neglects the Lord's commands along this line of "evil
surmisings" weaves a web for his own ensnarement, however
"circumspectly" he may walk as respects other matters;
for a heart impregnated with doubt and suspicion toward fellow
creatures is more than half prepared to doubt God: the spirit of
sourness and bitterness is at war with the spirit of the Lord, the
spirit of love.
Either the one or the other will conquer. The wrong spirit must be
gotten rid of, or it will defile the new creature and make of him
a "castaway." On the contrary, if the new nature
conquer, as an "overcomer," it will be along this line:
if evil surmisings are overcome, half the battle against present
difficulties and besetments is won.
