"Many who profess to believe the truth for these last days think it
strange that the Israelites were so ungrateful as to forget what God had
done for them, and even to murmur at the hardships they encountered as
they journeyed, when in the sight of God these very persons have done
worse than they. God has given us great light. We have a truth so clear,
so plain, that it cannot be resisted; yet this great blessing has not been
prized, or even realized. If trials arise, some think they have a hard
time, and begin to look back. Some do not know what purifying trials are,
and make trials for themselves. They are easily discouraged, and Satan
magnifies their grievances, and puts thoughts into their minds that, if
given away to, will destroy their influence and usefulness."-- Second Advent
