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) |
The Rise of Man in all of Earth is said to be by chance, but how can chance create each birth, predicted in advance? How do I know the life, that comes is known by Some Blest Mind? How do you know, that living sums are made of chance so blind? No proof have we, that chance or God has brought us here, today, but "In the end, we'll all applaud the Truth, that wins," we say. It's faith, that proves our points so grand to ev'ry human mind. It's pride, that has all others banned by hearts not very kind. So, hold your thought, that chance creates. I'll never be afraid, for it's not sure on any dates what sperm and egg have made. But if the God, Who made us all has anything to say, then when His summons is our call, we'll go to Him that day. Prepare your heart to meet the One, Whose Life has made you live. He'll give you to His Living Son by His Mercy to forgive. by Jay OโToole on May 4th, 2023 |
