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 jobs are many on this Earth throughout our lives to death from birth, and often they don't show our worth to those who see our days. But God sees all we do and say, the joy we bring, the things we pray. He sees each heart, that dares obey without a "Thank you," now. Dear Weary Heart, God's Person, blest, is with you through each daily test to make your life e'en here the best with "meals" for your own soul. In search of times to live in peace, His Presence is a great release to make those darkened words to cease just lean upon His Chest. Each peaceful moment in Him find. He loves you most. He's truly kind. His "Wait" is smelting, never blind. You're 'graved upon His Hand. The peaceful moments you may seek are in the One, Who came so meek. "Shalom. Be still," His Words they speak to calm the troubled soul. A peaceful moment may not be from ev'ry trouble fully free, but greatest hope is aye in He, Who rules the lasting Day. Each peaceful moment starts beneath the Cross of Him, Who did bequeath Salvation's Gift by smashing teeth of Death's own chilly mouth. In search of peace, we find the day, that Jesus rose in great display to rest the ones, who say Him, "Yay!" forever in His Hands. These moments ever become one because of Christ, the Father's Son, Who came to save through all He'd done. My name is written down. by Jay OโToole on July 8th, 2022 |
