The Word Of God Is Our Only

God Not Only Orders Our Steps, He Orders Our Stops.

We Should Not Shrink From Opportunities Where Our Faith May Be Tried. The More I Am In A Position To Be Tried In Faith, The More I Will Have The Opportunity Of Seeing God’s Help And Deliverance. Every Fresh Instance In Which He Helps And Delivers Me Will Increase My Faith. The Believer Should Not Shrink From Situations, Positions, Or Circumstances In Which His Faith May Be Tried, But He Should Cheerfully Embrace Them As Opportunities To See The Hand Of God Stretched Out In Help And Deliverance. Thus His Faith Will Be Strengthened.

As A Warning To Parents, I Mention That My Father Preferred Me To My Brother, Which Was Very Injurious To Both Of Us. To Me, As Tending To Produce In My Mind A Feeling Of Self-elevation; And To My Brother, By Creating In Him A Dislike Both Towards My Father And Me.

It Is True That The Faith, Which I Am Enabled To Exercise, Is Altogether God's Own Gift; It Is True That He Alone Supports It, And That He Alone Can Increase It; It Is True That, Moment By Moment, I Depend Upon Him For It, And That, If I Were Only One Moment Left To Myself, My Faith Would Utterly Fail.

Often The Work Of The Lord Itself May Be A Temptation To Keep Us From That Communion With Him Which Is So Essential To The Benefit Of Our Own Souls.
