In the "literary" model the Holy Spirit inspires the prophet to
express his or her intimate feelings and emotions through the means of poetry
and prose, as in the psalms.
Ellen White was not a poet; nevertheless, she expressed her intimate
sentiments and emotions in thousands of handwritten diary pages. In those pages
the believer finds [p. 26] inspiration, instruction, correction, and comfort, as
in any other portion of the inspired writings.
Thought for the Day
The world has been committed to Christ, and through Him has come every blessing from God to the fallen race. He was the Redeemer before as after His incarnation. As soon as there was sin, there was a Saviour. He has given light and life to all, and according to the measure of light given, each is to be judged. Desire of Ages, p. 210
