where to draw strength?

John Owen, in his work "of Temptation."

"Even the best of saints, being left to themselves, will quickly appear to be less than men-to be nothing. All our own strength is weakness, and all our wisdom folly."

"The duties that God, in an ordinary way, requires at our hands are not proportioned to what strength we have in ourselves, but to what help and relief is laid up for us in Christ."
