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
(Philippians 2:13, KJV)

How friendly is the meeting place
of...the...Lord!
My soul is longing, faints to trace
the courts of the lasting Lord.

My heart and flesh are crying out
for the God, Who lives fore'er.
The sparrow finds a house, no doubt,
the swallow's nesting there.
She lays her young in thine altars about,
my King, Who burdens bear.

How bless-ed are they, who dwell in thy house!
They'll still be praising Thee.
the man is blest, whose strength is Spouse,
and in his heart are the ways to be.

Who passing through the valley of pain
makes it a living well.
There, blessings come from Heaven like rain
the pools they fill and sorrows quell.

From strength to strength they go each one,
before God there in Zion stand.
O, Lord of hosts, please hear your son.
Give ear, O God of Jacob's land.

Behold, O God, our guarding shield.
On Your anointed, see my face.
For one day in Your courts I yield.
'Tis better than many in any other place.
I'd rather be a butler kneeled
in Your House than the wicked chase
and like them have their fate all sealed.

For the Lord, our God, is a sun and a shield.
The Lord will give us grace and glory.
No good thing from the ones, who yield,
from them, who walk a bright, new story.

O Lord of hosts, the man is blest,
who trusts in Thee through every test.
