Leanness Of Body And Soul

And As Men Diversions Increase From The World, So Do Their Entanglements From Satan. When They Have More To Do In The World Than They Can Well Manage, They Shall Have More To Do From Satan Than They Can Withstand.

It Is Truth Alone That Capacitates Any Soul To Glorify God.

I Do Not Understand How A Man Can Be A True Believer, In Whom Sin Is Not The Greatest Burden, Sorrow And Trouble.

The Beauty Of The Person Of Christ, As Represented In The Scripture, Consists In Things Invisible Unto The Eyes Of Flesh. They Are Such As No Hand Of Man Can Represent Or Shadow. It Is The Eye Of Faith Alone That Can See This King In His Beauty. What Else Can Contemplate On The Untreated Glories Of His Divine Nature? Can The Hand Of Man Represent The Union Of His Natures In The Same Person, Wherein He Is Peculiarly Amiable? What Eye Can Discern The Mutual Communications Of The Properties Of His Different Natures In The Same Person?

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.
