There before you is
the grisly old enemy to spiritual progress standing astride the path of
obedience to Christ – SELF! This monster cries out daily to be
served. He challenges the dominion of Jesus Christ and opposes every
devotion of time, energy and love to the Lord. But it is a strange war
that we may win only by feeling ourselves the painful blows we give.
Every denial of self is felt keenly. How we would love to change the
scene of combat! But on every occasion when we are serious about
advancing in righteousness, we must contend with self.
Walter Chantry
