Too often, alas! we have to be occupied with our failures and infirmities. If ever thy workings of indwelling sin be suffered to rise to the surface, we must deal with God about them, for He cannot go on with sin. He can forgive it, and cleanse us from it—He can restore our souls by the gracious ministry of our great High Priest—but He cannot go in our company with a single sinful thought. A light or foolish thought, as well as an unclean or covetous one, is amply sufficient to mar a Christian’s communion, and interrupt his worship.
