“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 https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV)    |
The night hoists tent, and settles in, a resident of gloom. It hides the light as Man's own sin, a harbinger of doom. These earthly eyes see naught of peace. The hosts are closing fast. "Elisha, pray some great release. Reveal some soon repast." (II Kings 6:17-20) The evil spirits find repose within the dark of night, but spirits of the Lord are those, who serve Him to set right. The Lord's Own Christ is marching t'ward the hidden dogs of Earth to show His Pow'r on nether's horde for none can match His Worth. The dark is naught but day to Him, the night the very morn. When Heaven's sons sing forth their hymns they're lifted at the horn. The night, its tent through lonely hours still shudders at the thought of Edmund's torch, whose lightest pow'rs sees darkness flee as wrought. https://www.quotes.net/mquote/1084710 The fans of Narnia alike with those of Middle Earth may swoon a bit at Jadis' strike, and Sauron's rings of worth. However, Aslan raises dawn, and Gandalf's staff brings light. When Christ's Light's seen, the dark is gone, and Hell's the lasting Night. Though books of fantasy are great as hours are whiled away, it's God's Own Word we need to rate, Forever as today. The night hoists tent, and settles in, but only for a time. Salvation's paid. Now gone is Sin. We're ever in our prime. by Jay O’Toole on September 15th, 2021 |
