Quote of the Day

"I apprehend that we lose much of the comfort which might arise from a sense of our continual dependence upon Him, and of course, fall short of acknowledging as we ought what we receive from Him, by mistaking the manner of His operation. Perhaps we take it too much for granted, that communications from Himself must bear some kind of sensible impression that they are His, and therefore are ready to give our own industry or ingenuity credit for those performances in which we can perceive no such impression; yet it is very possible that we may be under His influence when we are least aware...This gracious assistance is afforded in a way imperceptible to ourselves, to hide pride from us, and to prevent us from being indolent and careless with respect to the use of appointed means; and it would be likewise more abundantly, and perhaps more sensibly afforded, were our spirits more simple in waiting upon the Lord."
