We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life. |
โThere are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .โ โ Charles Spurgeon โOur anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.โ โ C. H. Spurgeon โHope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.โ โ Charles Haddon Spurgeon โIf sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.โ โ Charles Spurgeon โA Bible thatโs falling apart usually belongs to someone who isnโt.โ โ Charles Spurgeon โVisit many good books, but live in the Bible.โ โ Charles Spurgeon โWhen your will is God's will, you will have your will.โ โ Charles Spurgeon https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV) |
When I was a child, I was so very playful. I was so very playful, and hopeful every day. A-dancing in my bedroom, throughout my house, the yard and throughout my house, the yard and the things I'd do and say. A little boy, who needed a friend to be forever, a friend to be forever, and Snoopy was his name. My friend and alter-ego, this Snoopy is my buddy. This Snoopy is my buddy for Charlie, I'm the same. The happy feet of childhood meet things, that we must do for The things, that we must do for adulting ev'ry day. Adults still house a child, that needs to stop and dance blest. That needs to stop and dance blest, since God we must obey. "Forbid not little children of such is My Own Kingdom." Of such is my Own Kingdom, today and evermore. (Matthew 19:13-14, KJV) "Let none despise thy youth for you must be examples. You must be examples of believers to the core." (I Timothy 4:12, KJV) Remind me, while I'm older to be so young and playful. To be so young and playful, I'll live a lasting Truth. Forever we'll be younger, if Christ has bought, redeemed us. If Christ has bought, redeemed us, forever we'll be youth. by Jay OโToole on July 11th, 2024 ![]() ![]() |
