“God has made ample provision to establish the faith of all men, if they will decide from the weight of evidence. But if they wait to have every seeming objection removed before they believe, they will never be settled, rooted, and grounded in the truth. God will never remove all seeming difficulties from our path. Those who wish to doubt may find opportunity; those who wish to believe will find plenty of evidence upon which to base their faith.”—Testimonies for the Church 4:583, 584. QSEW 111.19

The evidence that God led Ellen White not only in her writing, but also in the guidance she provided the church over the years is overwhelming. QSEW 111.20

“Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper” (2 Chronicles 20:20). QSEW 111.21
