Through your commandments, You have made me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me.
Psa 119.98
Satan is wise by long experience. And the flesh, and carnal reason, and the world are wise too. But blessed be our God who makes every poor ignorant servant of his, wiser than all these. But how? The word must be ever in your hands, and the meditation of it in your hearts. It must always be with you; and you must keep it with you daily. For that will make you know not only what is amiss, but gain ground against corruption, and whatever else may hinder your peace with God and with yourselves.
Thomas Hooker. THE POOR DOUBTING CHRISTIAN DRAWN TO CHRIST.
