They should collect all the food of these good years that are coming and store up the
grain under the authority of Pharaoh."
Genesis 41:35 NIV
I Gather the riches of God's promises. Nobody can take away from you those texts from the
Bible which you have learned by heart.

"Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!" (John 6:70).
The tare among the wheat...! What possible reason could Jesus have to choose His very betrayer as one of His inner circle? Was Jesus using Judas to teach us one of His more
important les-sons? Judas left all to become a follower, only to finally become the chief blot on
humanity. To think, Jesus even washed his feet. Surely Judas was given every
opportunity to repent. One wonders how Judas' heart could have been so dark and hard as to not melt at Jesus' continued love and kindness.
Why did Jesus choose Judas? Why did He choose me?

Excerpts from today's Spurgeon's Devotions |

Spurgeon's Morning for December 7 |
Spurgeon's Evening for December 7 |
"Base things of the world hath God chosen." - 1 Corinthians 1:28 |
"I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." - 1 Corinthians 9:22
|
Go where you will, you need not ransack earth to find sinners, for they are common enough; you may find them in every lane and street of every city, and town, and village, and hamlet. It is for such that Jesus died. | Paul knew the ruin of mans natural state, and did not try to educate him, but to save him; he saw men sinking to hell, and did not talk of refining them, but of saving from the wrath to come. |
