“There 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. . . .” ― Charles Spurgeon “Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.” ― C. H. Spurgeon “Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.” ― Charles Haddon Spurgeon “If 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.” ― Charles Spurgeon “A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.” ― Charles Spurgeon “Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.” ― Charles Spurgeon “When your will is God's will, you will have your will.” ― Charles Spurgeon https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV)    |
The Serenity Prayer: "God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can & the Wisdom to know the difference." ----------------------------------------------------- A white and cold Christmas comes to blanket all the continent. We're looking at the snowy sums to find a place to compliment. "But it's not like that mostly, Friends. The snow is just an afterthought. This frigid cold quite truly rends all peaceful travel tickets bought." That's Ryan Hall, the shade-tree coach of all things weather related. He says the coldest sure approach must not be lost, nor understated. "Dear God, I ask You grant me true the Wisdom to see truth each day. I'd like to change what I can do, accepting what I can't, I pray." The difference between making change, and waiting for God's Hand to work is wisdom known to rearrange the hopes of peace from words of "shirk." "Dear God, we pray for a peaceful end to this great storm, that tempts us fear. Please, keep our loved ones safe and send Your angels making our way clear. "Please, help us do the things we can to bundle up and eat some food. Please, help us save by greatest plan our pets and elders for their good. "But what the weather does is Yours. We rest upon Your Ancient Grace. Each life, that's hid in You endures down here or in Your Lasting Place. "For Wisdom's Peace in You is best. You work through us to our best task. You show us, that in ev'ry test in Hope to rest. It's all we ask. In Your Great Name, amen." God keep you, Dear Friends, further north as we endure what is to come. The other side may He lead forth, restoring Life's abundant sum. by Jay O’Toole on December 22nd, 2022 |
