“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) https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon    |
| "11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. 13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”" (I Kings 19:11-13, NKJV) --------------------------------------- "So many times I've looked for God in big things screaming loud. To have something to lift applause, remove depression's shroud. "Excitement comes and quickly goes, but still He will not speak. "Please, talk to me in what I know," but day by day it's bleak. "Where is this God I've heard about? Does He have time for me? No human patience solves my doubt. No microwave the key." "You're tired, Friend. Please, stop and rest. I'll help you see the light. My way's not heavy o'erflowed by test. Your future is so bright." "Who's speaking? I've a mind to tell you off, to scorch your 'brows." "Just rest. My love can make you well, and set you on the prow." "'Tis time to come apart, my friend, to be with me and rest. Relax 'neath gentle hands, that mend your heart to show you're blest. "I have my faith to give to you. With it receive my grace. Salvation is completely through. A smile will lift your face. "Let my Shalom rest on your head. Salvation's helmet wear. My Life will be your spirit's bread. My Banner you will bear." by Jay O’Toole on April 13th, 2021 |
