"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: Who can know it? . . . He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool" -- Jer. 17:9; Prov. 28:26

Those who by nature are firm have a natural tendency to be harsh and bitter; those who by nature are soft have a tendency to be weak and compromising.

Whatever comes naturally to us must be distrusted, for "in our flesh dwells no good thing." There are no natural virtues. "The flesh lusteth against the Spirit."

To pride ourselves on our natural reactions, whatever they are, is to glory in our shame. We are only safe when we are consciously restraining nature and following the Spirit's expressed instructions contrary to nature.
