What They Said

“Christian, remember always the secret of success in the sore, conflict you have to wage. Let "the joy of the Lord" be "your strength." Apart from Christ there is nothing but defeat. You may resolve to do better, you may strive against your besetting sin, but if it be in your own might you will fail. But draw near to Christ, and keep Him in view continually. Hide deep in your heart His own word of promise—"My grace is sufficient for thee, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Fly to Him as your stronghold, whenever danger is at hand. Make Him your shield, when the shafts of the wicked one are aimed for your destruction.
