The Lord preserves the simple; I was "brought low, and he helped me. Psalms 116:6.

He who walks in godly simplicity and humility, accounting his own infirmities always the greatest, will best be preserved from being puffed up and sifted by the enemy of souls. And surely nothing should humble us more, than justification by free grace. The more we consider and carefully cherish that, the more this simple, childlike, quiet temper will increase; for since there is nothing in ourselves which can be depended upon, but all must be freely received from Christ: this, at the same time cutting off all vain boasting, brings us low, settles our peace on Christ, who is our all, and is sure enough to be rested upon.

It is only from thee, O my dear Saviour, I can learn true simplicity; teach me therefore to turn my eye not upon others, but upon myself. Humble me to the utmost, and fashion me after thy own mind, that I may be careful to avoid every thing that is contrary to love. Keep me, O my light, from all self-conceitedness, bridle my carnal reason, pull down all vain imaginations. Grant that my eye may be fixed only upon that one thing needful which lasts eternally; and that in all my words, deeds, and gestures, I may always resemble the simplicity, innocence, fidelity, and love of a little child. Matthew 13:3.
