Consider That It Is Not Failing In

By Faith Ponder On This, That Though Thou Art No Way Able In Or By Thyself To Get The Conquest Over Thy Distemper, Though Thou Art Even Weary Of Contending, And Art Utterly Ready To Faint, Yet That There Is Enough In Jesus Christ To Yield Thee Relief.

There Is Only One Way To Be Revived And Healed From Our Backslidings So That We May Become Fruitful Even In Old Age. We Must Take A Steady Look At The Glory Of Christ In His Special Character, In His Grace And Work, As Shown To Us In The Scripture.

We Must Not Be Concerned Only With That Which Troubles Us, But With All That Troubles God.

Let Our Hearts Admit, “i Am Poor And Weak. Satan Is Too Subtle, Too Cunning, Too Powerful; He Watches Constantly For Advantages Over My Soul. The World Presses In Upon Me With All Sorts Of Pressures, Pleas, And Pretences. My Own Corruption Is Violent, Tumultuous, Enticing, And Entangling. As It Conceives Sin, It Wars Within Me And Against Me. Occasions And Opportunities For Temptation Are Innumerable. No Wonder I Do Not Know How Deeply Involved I Have Been With Sin. Therefore, On God Alone Will I Rely For My Keeping. I Will Continually Look To Him.

Whatever Vices And Corruptions Men See In The Lives Of Their Ministers Will Not Be Attributed To The Depravity Of Their Old Nature Which Still Abides In Them, But To The Gospel.
