Truth must enter into the soul, penetrate and saturate it, or else it is of no value. – Spurgeon (fb)

The enemy never quite knows how to deal with a humble man; he is so used to dealing with a proud, stubborn people that are meek man upsets his timetable. And furthermore, the man of true humility has God fighting on his side – who can win against God? Strange as it may seem, we often win over our enemies only after we have first been soundly defeated by the Lord himself. God often conquers our enemies by conquering us… When God sees that we must meet a deadly opponent, he assures our victory and brings us down in humbleness at His own feet. After that, everything is easy. We have put ourselves in a position where God can fight for us, and in the situation like that, the outcome is decided from eternity. – Tozer (fb)
