We Ought As Much To Pray For

When We Realize A Constant Enemy Of The Soul Abides Within Us, What Diligence And Watchfulness We Should Have! How Woeful Is The Sloth And Negligence Then Of So Many Who Live Blind And Asleep To This Reality Of Sin. There Is An Exceeding Efficacy Nad Power In The Indwelling Sin Of Believers, For It Constantly Inclines Itself Towards Evil. We Need To Be Awake, Then, If Our Hearts Would Know The Ways Of God. Our Enemy Is Not Only Upon Us, As It Was With Samson, But It Is Also In Us.

There Are Two Things That Are Suited To Humble The Souls Of Men, And They Are, First, A Due Consideration Of God, And Then Of Themselves - Of God, In His Greatness, Glory, Holiness, Power, Majesty, And Authority; Of Ourselves, In Our Mean, Abject, And Sinful Condition.

Labour To Grow Better Under All Your Afflictions, Lest Your Afflictions Grow Worse, Lest God Mingle Them With More Darkness, Bitterness And Terror.

When The Holy Spirit Sanctifies Believers, He Does A Complete Work In Them. He Puts Into Their Minds, Wills And Hearts A Gracious, Supernatural Principle Which Fills Them With A Holy Desire To Live To God. The Whole Life And Being Of Holiness Lies In This. This Is The New Creation.

A True Saving Knowledge Of Sin Is To Be Had Only In The Lord Christ: In Him May We See The Desert Of Our Iniquities.
