... the enemy of righteousness also works in little steps, so small that they are hard to notice if you are thinking only about yourself and how great you are. Just as truth is given to us line upon line and the light brightens slowly as we obey, even so, as we disobey our testimony of truth lessens almost imperceptibly, little by little, and darkness descends so slowly that the proud may easily deny that anything is changing.

If we try hard to do what that truth requires of us, God will send more light and more truth. It will go on, line after line, as long as we choose to obey the truth.

As you start to write, you could ask yourself, 'How did God bless me today' If you do that long enough and with faith, you will find yourself remembering blessings. And sometimes, you will have gifts brought to your minds which you failed to notice during the day, but which you will then know were a touch of God's hand in your life.
