 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 https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV)    |
| How doth yon poet ply his craft with "thees" and "thous" and weirdsome words? Methinks some reader often laughed at things now said with mos absurd. He talks of Jesus' worthy Name, though many do not find Him so. "Anachronism!" That's the blame, a social misfit rare to know. One Simon Peter skulking near His Master's trial warmed for cold, denied his Friend for very fear, though Supper's fealty was quite bold. "Thou wast with Him in Garden, Sir." "I know not what thou sayest to me." "'Tis true the thing I now infer for list. Thy speech bewrayeth thee." "That's very lie. Now, with an oath, I raise my voice to him deny!" How oft do I with nasal growth deny my Lord with silence by? When in some situation dire, I'm asked, "Do know thee, Jesus Christ? Some say His Name is lofty, higher, The Son of God, Who paid the price!" Will life per this be on the line? Will Truth be spoke, if life they take? Is silent wisdom always fine? Doth judgment fall, if silence break? Quite out-of-place, and off the mark are testimonies lived in Book, but words of honor often spark, that fires of trial be not forsook. line count: 32 poetry form: quatrains of iambic tetrameter lines prompt number: 7 (March 7th, 2026) by Jay O’Toole on March 7th, 2026    |
