DAILY READINGS by Charles Spurgeon

MORNING: June 20 Every sifting comes by divine command and permission. Satan must ask leave before he
can lay a finger upon Job. Nay, more, in some sense our siftings are directly the work of
heaven, for the text says, "I will sift the house of Israel." Satan, like a
drudge, may hold the sieve, hoping to destroy the corn; but the overruling hand of the
Master is accomplishing the purity of the grain by the very process which the enemy
intended to be destructive. Precious, but much sifted corn of the Lord's floor, be
comforted by the blessed fact that the Lord directs both flail and sieve to his own
glory, and to thine eternal profit. |
