“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 (Philippians 2:13, KJV) https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon    |
A quiet day to quiet minds, before we walk anew the streets of town, new places find to live, and play, and do. A quiet day is what we seek to help the days so loud. Unsettled hearts throughout the week need a break from the days of crowds. A quiet day is where we start to seek the Face of God, Who comes with us to office, mart, where we seem weak and flawed. "A quiet day" may be too few upon this soil and loam, with piles of things we need to do before we're fin'lly Home. A quiet day needs be within, all Fearings now to quell, until we live beyond all sin, and fear is bound to Hell. A quiet day is sheltered here "within Christ's boundless wings." (Psalm 91:1-4, KJV) The way, we see, is free and clear. His Spirit makes us sing. A quiet Day is evermore in Jesus' strong, blest arms for He Alone knows what's in store for those He frees from harms. ("Fearings" is a reference to the family of Fearings,who are characters in Hannah Hurnard's great book, Hinds Feet on High Places. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/821056.Hinds_Feet_on_High_Places) by Jay O’Toole on January 20th, 2023 |
