The work of the Holy Spirit

Guy Muse just posted an old tract that you might find interesting. I'm not a big fan of tracts, but this one I liked—maybe because it is directed at Christians instead of non-Christians... Here's a snippet, but do take the extra minute to read the whole thing.

Others may boast of themselves, their work, their successes, their writings, but the Holy Spirit will not allow you to do any such thing. If you begin to do so, He will lead you into a deep mortification that will make you despise yourself and all your good works.

Others may be allowed to succeed in making great sums of money, or may have a legacy left to them, or may have luxuries, but God may supply you only on a day-to-day basis, because He wants you to have something far better than gold, namely, a helpless dependence on Him and His unseen treasury.
