Fear God, Not The Demons

"Fear God, not the demons. Fear God and His judgments, for when He decides to punish us with some kind of penance for our pride, who is able to stop Him? Therefore, when the evil is still small, let us take care to remedy it. For once it has grown worse, you will not be able to be delivered even if others help you. So love God more, since He has sent you the medicine for your illness: that is, patience, humility, and courage—and see to it that you take it."
Elder Ephraim of Arizona
