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)

The days of Earth are lived a-pace
too often we'd confess.
The feet must always move and race
or others won't us bless.

"This life is short and few the days!
We've got a lot to do!
How can you sit there in a gaze
with nothing when you're through?
"

Such diligent souls are these, who strive.
They work so hard to live,
but at the end, they will not thrive
with nothing left to give.

Some days of rest are what we need
to do what must be done,
that souls are whole, nor active bleed,
that man may live as one.

To cease from work shows, that we trust
the Lord to vouchsafe all.
He frees us from our money lust
when to His heart we call.

To sit and listen for the Voice
of He, Who rules fore'er
will rest my person by His Choice.
I roll on Him my care.

To cease from self to active trust,
restores me to the core.
Receiving Grace from He, Who's Just
creates me as before.

My wholeness is not found within.
It's found within the Lord.
I'm whole when He thus frees from sin,
arrested by His Word.
