When we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:66For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. (Romans 5:6)
Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou also halt wrought all our works in us. Isaiah 26:1212Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. (Isaiah 26:12)
OM 26:12{SA 26:12{What a long time it takes to come down to the conviction, and still more to the realization of the fact that without Him we can do nothing, but that He must work all our works in us! This is the work of God, that ye believe in Him whom He has sent. And no less must it be the work of God that we go on believing, and that we go on trusting. Then, dear friends who are longing to trust Him with unbroken and unwavering trust, cease the effort and drop the burden, and now entrust your trust to Him! He is just as well able to keep that as any other part of the complex lives which we want Him to take and keep for Himself. And oh, do not pass on content with the thought, "Yes, that is a good idea; perhaps I should find that a great help!" But, "Now, then, do it." It is no help to the sailor to see a flash of light across a dark sea, if he does not instantly steer accordingly.
I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, trusting only Thee;
Trusting Thee for full salvation, great and free.
I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus; never let me fall!
I am trusting Thee forever, and for all.
