Consider That It Is Not Failing In

The Natural Man "cannot See Or Discern That Divine Excellency In The Scripture, Without An Apprehension Whereof No Man Can Believe It Aright To Be The Word Of God."

He That Hath Slight Thoughts Of Sin, Never Had Great Thoughts Of God.

Temptations And Occasions Put Nothing Into A Man, But Only Draw Out What Was In Him Before.

The Growth Of Trees And Plants Takes Place So Slowly That It Is Not Easily Seen. Daily We Notice Little Change. But, In Course Of Time, We See That A Great Change Has Taken Place. So It Is With Grace. Sanctification Is A Progressive, Lifelong Work (prov 4:18). It Is An Amazing Work Of God's Grace And It Is A Work To Be Prayed For (rom 8:27).

Herein Would I Live; Herein Would I Die; Hereon Would I Dwell In My Thoughts And Affections; To The Withering And Consumption Of All The Painted Beauties Of This World, Unto The Crucifying All Things Here Below, Until They Become Unto Me A Dead And Deformed Thing, No Way Meet For Affectionate Embraces.
