Our integrity and virtue are the result of the divine upholding. We would fall, and blunder and spoil all, if left to ourselves. The Lord should be praised every day, if we are preserved from gross sin. When others sin, they show us what we would do, but for preserving grace.
"He fell today and I may fall tomorrow!" was the exclamation of a holy man, whenever he saw another falling into sin.
[Charles H. Spurgeon]
