"Even though it is awful to experience and to observe how great Satan’s power is after a person has once turned away from the fear of God—for Satan does not cease to drive on from sin to sin—it is still profitable to ponder these facts; for they encourage us to pray. Yes, they even commend to us the concern which our heavenly Father has for us when He warns us and calls us back, so to speak, to the right way by means of His fatherly rod, which thus becomes sweet when you reflect what a human being is wont to do when he is left to himself and indulges freely in sin."
