He that walketh with God sees, by the eye of faith, God present with him in all his actions; seriously thinking of Him upon all occasions, remembering Him in his ways, setting the Lord always before him as David did; seeing Him that is invisible as Moses did; doing all things as St. Paul did, as of God in the sight of God. Now he who so walketh that he always observeth God's presence and keepeth Him still in his view in the course of his life not only with a general and habitual but, as much as he can, with an actual intention to please and glorify God, this man may be said to walk with God.

Consider, what thou doest out of thy place is not acceptable to God because thou canst not do it in faith, "without which it is impossible to please God," and it cannot be in faith because thou hast no call. God will not thank thee for doing that which He did not set thee about. Possibly thou hast good intentions; so had Uzzah in staying the ark, yet how well God liked his zeal, see 2 Samuel 6:7.

Affection without endeavor is like Rachel, beautiful but barren. They are blessed that do what they can, though they cannot but under-do. Unsearchable Riches of Christ

Grace is not of an equal extent to nature: grace is not native, but donative; not by generation, but by regeneration. It is from the Father of spirits, not fathers of our flesh. Who can bring a clean thing out of filthiness? The new birth is "not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man" (John 1:13).
