We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
โ€œThere 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


โ€œOur anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.โ€
โ€• C. H. Spurgeon


โ€œHope 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


โ€œIf 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


โ€œA Bible thatโ€™s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isnโ€™t.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œVisit many good books, but live in the Bible.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon


โ€œWhen your will is God's will, you will have your will.โ€
โ€• Charles Spurgeon

The robins' agitated flight,
it seems to cry about
the hawks, that lumber in their might
great masteries to tout.

Their frantic chirping tells their friends,
"There's danger quite nearby."
These giv'n instincts can ne'er pretend,
nor lead a bird to lie.

The robin flock so oft precedes
the coming of our spring.
their Dogwood berry-eating deeds
cause joyful chorus sings.

Today no berries can be found,
and many are the trees,
where chirping robins flit, abound,
alarmed, that none they see.

Nandina berries all around,
but maybe they're not good.
Sad birds could fall onto the ground
if poisoned by this food.

How do they know the difference 'tween
these berries and the true?
Great instincts here are fully seen
with lessons for me and you.

When danger lurks, God has his way
to keep us from all harm.
Run to His Safety quick, today,
and hide beneath His Arm.
