ONE thing is needful, an humble dependent spirit to renounce our own wills and give up ourselves to His disposal without reserve. This is the path of peace; and it is the path of safety; for He has said, the meek He will teach His way, and guide them with His eye. I hope you will fight and pray against every rising of a murmuring spirit, and be thankful for the great things which He has already done for you. It is good to be humbled for sin, but not to be discouraged, for though we are poor creatures, Jesus is a complete Saviour; and we bring more honour to God by believing in His Name and trusting His Word of promise, than we could do by a thousand outward works.—John Newton.
