| Summary |
"The Works of the Rev. John Wesley, Vol. 10 (of 32)" by John Wesley is a collection of religious writings and prayers compiled during the 18th century. This volume features thoughtful reflections on spirituality, collections of prayers for various occasions, and personal accounts related to key figures in Wesley's ministry. The text aims to provide guidance and insight into living a devout Christian life, emphasizing themes such as repentance, humility, and the importance of divine love. The opening of this volume addresses the serious calamity of the earthquake in Lisbon, prompting Wesley to reflect on the moral state of society and the seemingly increasing wickedness among people, including those in positions of leadership. He questions whether current events signal divine judgment and urges readers to consider the importance of seeking God's favor through righteous living. The passage strongly emphasizes acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and the need for sincere prayer as a means of aligning oneself with divine will, suggesting that spiritual vigilance is essential amidst worldly chaos and uncertainties.
