Nothing stays our annihilation but the will and sustaining power of God. None can sustain himself a single moment. We are entirely dependent on the Creator for every breath we draw. The realization of this ought to make us lie down under a sense of our own nothingness in the presence of Him in whom we live and move, and have our being. As fallen creatures we are not only mutable, but everything in us is opposed to God.
Fallen man is inconstant.
No human being is to be depended on. If I disobey God, then I deserve to be deceived and disappointed by my fellows. People who like you today, may hate you tomorrow. The multitude who cried Hosanna to the Son of David, speedily changed to Away with Him, Crucify Him. Herein is solid comfort.
