Idols drain us, because they are insufficient and hollow; God gives and blesses us, because he is so super-sufficient, so full.

The proud are blind. The humble see the truth about themselves and so they cry, “Nothing in my hands I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling.”

You are coming to a king— 
 large petitions with you bring.
 For his grace and pow'r are such,
 none can ever ask too much. Newton

Those who look to idols become like them (Psa 135:15-18). Those who look to the Lord are radiant (Psa 34:5). You will become like whatever you fix your gaze upon.

Satan is the Accuser. His work is to turn your eyes in on yourself and despair. The Spirit is the Comforter. His work is to turn your eyes to Jesus, the rest for our souls.

Your weaknesses are no handicap to God. Where you are weak is likely where God will use you most, and where he will make you most beautiful.

Christian, God did not call you to himself in ignorance. Don’t imagine there is anything in you he has overlooked that might make him change his mind or forsake the work of his hands.

When you are full of yourself, you will be empty of God. The more pride, the less grace.
