Human strength and human weakness are only names in religion. The
mightiest man, in the hour of trial, can do nothing without the strength of
God; and the weakest woman can do all things, if Christ strengthen her.
Do not yield to temptation. It is no sin to be tempted; the sin lies in
yielding. While the sin exists only in Satan's solicitation, it is the devil's
sin, not ours: when we yield, we make the devil's sin our own; then we
enter into temptation.
We should be on our guard against what are called little sins, and all
occasions and excitements to sin. Take heed what company you frequent.
One thing apparently harmless may lead by almost imperceptible links to
sins of the deepest die.
The best way to foil the adversary is by the sword of the Spirit, which
is the word of God.
He who, through the grace of God, resists and overcomes temptation,
is always bettered by it.
A more than ordinary measure of divine consolation shall be the
consequence of every victory.
Perhaps nothing tends so much to discover what we are, as trials either
from men or devils.
The trials, disappointments, insults, and wants of the followers of
Christ become, in the hand of the all-wise God, subservient to their best
interests: hence nothing can happen to them without their deriving profit
from it, unless it be their own fault.
The advantage of trials is to make us know our weakness, so as to
oblige us to have recourse to God by faith in Christ.
