"Woe is me." \reference{Isa. 6:5}{Isaiah 6:5} Horatius Bonar says:
"A new view of God's
holiness gives a deeper view of our sinfulness. The more we realize a
God of glory, the more we feel our unholiness and cry out in fear."
\reference{Dan. 10:8}{Daniel 10:8}, \reference{Rev. 1:17}{Revelation
1:17} Conviction must precede cleansing.
"It is utterly impossible for anyone to prove that there is no
God."

GRASSHOPPERS DEFEATED
In one of the northern states, for several years everything had
been devoured by grasshoppers. The farmers were distressed. Some
devout people insisted that if they would meet conditions and pray God
could and would deliver. A day of fasting and prayer was called. Some
scoffed, saying, "Can God deal with grasshoppers?" The people prayed.
The grasshoppers had not yet hatched out but it was almost time and
folks knew they would soon appear. After the day of prayer it turned
very warm; unusually so. Soon the ground was covered with
grasshoppers. They literally covered the earth. Then it turned
suddenly cold; very cold. The ground froze hard and every grasshopper
died. That year grasshoppers did not trouble them, nor have they done
so since that time. Yes, God can manage grasshoppers.
