We try to get rid of a servant as quickly as possible who is habitually disobedient, but it is not regarded as anything extraordinary if a child of God is disobedient every day. Disobedience is acknowledged daily, yet there is no turning away from it. Is not this the reason why so much prayer for the power of the Holy Spirit is offered, and yet so few answers come? Do we not read that God has given his Holy Spirit to them that obey him (Acts 5:32)?
