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

“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)    |
So blest are they, who live with Thee. They'll still be praising You. The man is blest, whose strength we see in He, Whose ways shine through. Who passing through the tearful vale will quench the desperate thirst. In gentle rain or flooding gale it fills the pool at first. They go anon from strength so strong. They're blest to rest in Him. Each one of them in Zion's song appears 'fore God to win. Let this one mind reside in you, which lived in Christ, the Lord. He is the form of God all through, obeying Father's Word. He made Himself the least of all. A servant He became, that like unto all men, His call transforms to He the same. His fashion as a man, His Choice. He humbled Self down low. Obedient to death rejoiced, upon the cross to go. And serving God obediently, His Father lifted High This Lone Loved Son, most full and free, The Name we worship by. That at the Name of Jesus, blest all knees should lowly bow, of Heaven's high and full behest, of Earth and all below. That ev'ry tongue should say, confess, "This Jesus Christ is Lord!" We'll glorify the Father Blest, obeying e'er The Word. And why should we yet praise the Lord? Because He rose up from the grave, fulfilling all His Holy Word as He Alone, Who all could save. This poem is based upon the words of Psalm 84:4-7 and Philippians 2:5-11, both in the King James Version of the Bible. by Jay O’Toole on July 13th, 2021 |
