The Strength of a Steadfast Spirit

By The Rev. T. L. Cuyler

To practice righteousness and resist sin requires the indwelling strength of God. "Renew a right spirit within me," prayed the psalmist. The original word signifies a firm, constant spirit, that has no waverings. A steady hand writes a clear, strong line; the shaking, tremulous hand makes the crooked scrawl. Faith is likened to an anchor, because it has a holding power; and that comes from the hold which God has upon the man who exercises it.—The Rev. T. L. Cuyler.
