DAILY READINGS by Charles Spurgeon

MORNING: January 13 Solomon's ships had returned in safety, but
Jehoshaphat's vessels never reached the land of gold. Providence prospers one, and
frustrates the desires of another, in the same business and at the same spot, yet the
Great Ruler is as good and wise at one time as another. May we have grace to-day, in the
remembrance of this text, to bless the Lord for ships broken at Ezion-geber, as well as
for vessels freighted with temporal blessings; let us not envy the more successful, nor
murmur at our losses as though we were singularly and specially tried. Like Jehoshaphat,
we may be precious in the Lord's sight, although our schemes end in disappointment. |
