MORNING: DAILY READINGS by Charles Spurgeon January 1 Israel's weary wanderings were all over, and the promised rest was attained. No more
moving tents, fiery serpents, fierce Amalekites, and howling wildernesses: they came to
the land which flowed with milk and honey, and they ate the old corn of the land. Perhaps
this year, beloved Christian reader, this may be thy case or mine. Joyful is the prospect,
and if faith be in active exercise, it will yield unalloyed delight. To be with Jesus in
the rest which remaineth for the people of God, is a cheering hope indeed, and to expect
this glory so soon is a double bliss. Unbelief shudders at the Jordan which still rolls
between us and the goodly land, but let us rest assured that we have already experienced
more ills than death at its worst can cause us. Let us banish every fearful thought, and
rejoice with exceeding great joy, in the prospect that this year we shall begin to be
"for ever with the Lord." |
