DAILY READINGS by Charles Spurgeon

MORNING: February 4 Believer, look back through all thine experience, and think of the way whereby the Lord
thy God has led thee in the wilderness, and how he hath fed and clothed thee every
day--how he hath borne with thine ill manners--how he hath put up with all thy murmurings,
and all thy longings after the flesh-pots of Egypt--how he has opened the rock to supply
thee, and fed thee with manna that came down from heaven. Think of how his grace has been
sufficient for thee in all thy troubles--how his blood has been a pardon to thee in all
thy sins--how his rod and his staff have comforted thee. When thou hast thus looked back
upon the love of the Lord, then let faith survey his love in the future, for remember that
Christ's covenant and blood have something more in them than the past. He who has loved
thee and pardoned thee, shall never cease to love and pardon. He is Alpha, and he shall be
Omega also: he is first, and he shall be last. Therefore, bethink thee, when thou shalt
pass through the valley of the shadow of death, thou needest fear no evil, for he is with
thee. When thou shalt stand in the cold floods of Jordan, thou needest not fear, for death
cannot separate thee from his love; and when thou shalt come into the mysteries of
eternity thou needest not tremble, "For I am persuaded, that neither death; nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of
God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Now, soul, is not thy love refreshed? Does
not this make thee love Jesus? Doth not a flight through illimitable plains of the ether
of love inflame thy heart and compel thee to delight thyself in the Lord thy God? Surely
as we meditate on "the love of the Lord," our hearts burn within us, and we long
to love him more. |
