Thought for the Day ~ 12 August, 2024 A.D.
" I shall discharge him from this duty [ of mortification ] who can bring sin to a composition, to a cessation of arms in this warfare; if it will spare him any one day, in any one duty ( provided he be a person that is acquainted with the spirituality of obedience and the subtlety of sin ), let him say to his soul, as to this duty, “Soul, take thy rest.” The saints, whose souls breathe after deliverance from its perplexing rebellion, know there is no safety against it but in a constant warfare." -preacher John Owen
