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) |
Looking in the mirror glass when will earthly frailties pass? Not until the New Day's dawn will all slips and falls be gone. How I wish to speak just good living best as humans should, but the words don't always come, making less of my hoped sum. When we stand before the Lord, promised grace right from His Word, "Then you'll know as you are known," fit to sit upon a throne. (I Corinthians 13:12, KJV) Some days now in fleshly rags, skin o'er-stuffed, it sags and bags, but when housed in un-sinned skin, wondrous days we'll live and win. How can I in hopeful ways speak the Truth of Lasting Day? Not with falsely-stepping tongue, caught in languages as hung. New Day's Dawn will help the mind, knowing thoughts, and being kind. Google won't be needed more, seeing eye-to-eye The Door. New Day's Dawn will banish walls, which have heretofore just stalled 'tween the true souls waiting hearts, stopping love, that they'd impart. New Day's Dawn, beyond the veil makes these earthly colors pale. In the light of Christ, the Lord is the good, that He affords. by Jay OโToole on April 9th, 2022 |
