Spiritual Life not Self-Preserved
Psalm 22:29
All they that be fat on earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him…


Go, young man, even you who are a zealous Christian, go without your morning prayer into the house of business, and see what will befall you. Venture, my sister, down into your little family without having called upon God for guidance, and see what you will do. Go with a strong resolve that yon will never be guilty of the weakness which dishonoured you a few days ago, and depend upon the strength of your own will and the firmness of your own purpose, and see if you do not ere long discover to your shame how great your weakness is. Nay, try none of these experiments, but listen to the Word which tells you "none can keep alive his own soul."

( C. H. Spurgeon.)
