EXPOSITORY THOUGHTS.

← Expository Thoughts on the Gospels — St. Matthew

encompassed with infirmity, should stir us up contin- ually to " watch and pray."

If we know anything of true religion, let us never forget this lesson. If we desire to walk with God com- fortably, and not fall, like David or Peter, let us never forget to watch and pray. Let us live like men on enemy's ground, and be always on our guard. We cannot walk too carefully. We cannot be too jealous over our souls. The world is very ensnaring. The devil is very busy. Let our Lord's words ring in our ears daily like a trumpet. Our spirits may sometimes be very willing. But our flesh is always very weak. Then let us always watch and always pray.
