Want of will causes paralysis of every faculty. In spiritual things man is utterly unable because resolvedly unwilling.
Charles SpurgeonDo not become self-sufficient . Self-sufficienc y is Satanโs net where he catches men, like poor silly fish, and destroys them. Be not self-sufficient . The way to grow strong in Christ is to become weak in yourself. God pours no power into manโs heart till manโs power is all poured out. Live, then, daily, a life of dependence on the grace of God.
Charles SpurgeonSoar back through all your own experiences. Think of how the Lord has led you in the wilderness and has fed and clothed you every day. How God has borne with your ill manners, and put up with all your murmurings and all your longings after the 'sensual pleasures of Egypt!' Think of how the Lord's grace has been sufficient for you in all your troubles.
Charles Spurgeon
