I feel my ignorance in divine things

Back to Man's religion & God's religion


I see such sin in my wretched, fallen nature, and feel so much my weakness against temptation, and see at the same time what a horrible and dreadful thing sin is, that I am led from time to time earnestly to call upon the Lord to hold me up—that I shall be safe! 

 I feel my ignorance in divine things—how dark my mind is when not enlightened by the Blessed Spirit—how unable I am to realize any portion of God's Word, to feed upon any one truth, or taste the sweetness of any one promise. 

And thus I feel myself led to look up for divine teaching, and that the Lord Himself would make His blessed truth known to my soul.
