Temptations And Occasions Put Nothing

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.

In The Divine Scriptures, There Are Shallows And There Are Deeps; Shallows Where The Lamb May Wade, And Deeps Where The Elephant May Swim.

Labour To Grow Better Under All Your Afflictions, Lest Your Afflictions Grow Worse, Lest God Mingle Them With More Darkness, Bitterness And Terror.

What Do We Want? What Would We Be At? What Do Our Souls Desire? Is It Not That We Might Have A More Full, Clear, Stable Comprehension Of The Wisdom, Love, Grace, Goodness, Holiness, Righteousness, And Power Of God, As Declared And Exalted In Christ Unto Our Redemption And Eternal Salvation?

Let Our Hearts Admit, “i Am Poor And Weak. Satan Is Too Subtle, Too Cunning, Too Powerful; He Watches Constantly For Advantages Over My Soul. The World Presses In Upon Me With All Sorts Of Pressures, Pleas, And Pretences. My Own Corruption Is Violent, Tumultuous, Enticing, And Entangling. As It Conceives Sin, It Wars Within Me And Against Me. Occasions And Opportunities For Temptation Are Innumerable. No Wonder I Do Not Know How Deeply Involved I Have Been With Sin. Therefore, On God Alone Will I Rely For My Keeping. I Will Continually Look To Him.
