DAILY READINGS by Charles Spurgeon

MORNING: January 19 Tell me where you lost the company of a Christ, and I will tell you the most likely
place to find him. Have you lost Christ in the closet by restraining prayer? Then it is
there you must seek and find him. Did you lose Christ by sin? You will find Christ in no
other way but by the giving up of the sin, and seeking by the Holy Spirit to mortify the
member in which the lust doth dwell. Did you lose Christ by neglecting the Scriptures? You
must find Christ in the Scriptures. It is a true proverb, "Look for a thing where you
dropped it, it is there." So look for Christ where you lost him, for he has not gone
away. But it is hard work to go back for Christ. Bunyan tells us, the pilgrim found the
piece of the road back to the Arbour of Ease, where he lost his roll, the hardest he had
ever traveled. Twenty miles onward is easier than to go one mile back for the lost
evidence. |
