When Sin Lets Us Alone We May

We Ought As Much To Pray For A Blessing Upon Our Daily Rod As Upon Our Daily Bread.

There Is Not A Day But Sin Foils Or Is Foiled, Prevails Or Is Prevailed On; And It Will Be So Whilst We Live In This World.

Sin Will Be Always Acting, If We Be Not Always Mortifying, We Are Lost Creatures.

Some Relate . . . That The Eagle Tries The Eyes Of Her Young By Turning Them To The Sun; Which If They Cannot Look Steadily On, She Rejects Them As Spurious. We May Truly Try Our Faith By Immediate Intuitions Of The Sun Of Righteousness. Direct Faith To Act Itself, Immediately And Directly On The Incarnation Of Christ And His Mediation; And If It Be Not The Right Kind And Race, It Will Turn Its Eyes Aside To Anything Else.

If I Have Observed Anything By Experience, It Is This: A Man May Take The Measure Of His Growth And Decay In Grace According To His Thoughts And Meditations Upon The Person Of Christ, And The Glory Of Christ's Kingdom, And Of His Love.
