We may fall into the grossest sins—and commit the greatest crimes!

"O Preserver of men." Job 7:20

We have neither wisdom nor strength to preserve ourselves. We are daily liable to fall; and unless God preserves us—we certainly shall. 

Our hearts are so deceitful, 
our corruptions are so strong, 
and Satan is so vigilant 
—that we must look to God as our Preserver every hour, and call upon Him to uphold us every moment!

He can preserve; He does preserve; but only in the way of obedience. Except we are watchful, prayerful, and walking humbly with Him—we have no security. We may fall into the grossest sins—and commit the greatest crimes!

O believer, never think yourself safe—but as you are leaning on Jesus, calling upon your heavenly Father, and cultivating communion with the Holy Spirit! 

Indeed you are in danger! Satan, the world, and your corruptions—are all leagued against you! Nothing but omnipotent grace can keep you!

Cease from man, trust not your own heart—but keep close to the good Shepherd. He alone is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy!
