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) |
I'm looking up to see the Lord, Who lives upon the mountain's rest. My help is His by His own Word to save me through each Earthly test. My help comes from the glorious One, Who made the heaven and the earth. I'm looking to God's Only Son, Who gives me Hope through His New Birth. He will not let my feet to trip. He watches o'er me without sleep. He holds me in His Hand's firm grip. He makes my rest to be so deep. For He, Who watches Israel, is never sleepy, nor will rest. His enemies can't live to tell their goals upon the ones, He's blest. The Lord, He watches over you. The Lord is shading you from the sun. Protecting in His Grace e'er new. Just rest in Him. The battle's won. The sun won't harm you through the day. The moon won't harm you through the night. The Lord's Protection's on display redeems your spirit from its plight. The Lord, He keeps you from all harm and watches o'er your life's long days. We need just lean upon His Arm, and look for Hope, He'll always raise. The Lord keeps watch o'er ev'ry step. You come and go, today and e'er. This exercise through ev'ry rep will lift your heart from ev'ry care. Psalm 121:1-8, NLT Reworded by Jay O'Toole on April 23rd, 2020 |
