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) |
O, Freedom to live truest peace with Grace, that causes fears to cease among all hearts in Joy released, we thank, Thee, God Above. O, Freedom born of the greatest Gift, that spirits worn be daily lift, perspectives from the Darkness shift to see God's lasting Love. O, Freedom birthed on frozen toes, reminding of the lives of those, who knew the Truth, that Wisdom grows through wins & losses each day. O, Freedom may we keep thy trust to stand for what you stood as just, that we would live our lives as must to honor and obey. O, Freedom let us know your name throughout all ages, true and same, beyond all wagging tongues, that blame of weaknesses, that sway. O, Freedom borne on Justice, rare, beyond the ages, angels stare at what God wrought in Grace to dare for Hope is Mercy's Joy! O, Freedom waving through the night 'mid bombs explosions causing fright was theirs and ours by God's Own Might, that Grace He would employ. by Jay OโToole on July 4th, 2022 |
