There is an easy way of going on in worldliness, and there is nothing more sad than the quiet, comfortable Christian going on day by day apart from dependence on the Lord. We must always be in dependence or we will fall. In every detail of our lives, there is no blessing but in dependence on God. The point for us is to rest in the arm of the Lord, whatever may be, and not run to get help elsewhere.
J. N. Darby
