some of the verses of the day, March 20, 2023

 


By the way, friends: its the first day of spring in the southeast USA, here at the home of the ministry.  Plants are turning green, and first tender blooms are rising, the sap is running.

It's like a renewal, nature's own, and it refreshes the spirit to see it.

Spurgeon on Spiritual Warfare.

If we are indeed contending for truth and righteousness, let us not tarry till we have talent, or wealth, or any other form of visible power at our disposal; but with such stones as we find in the brook, and with our own usual sling, let us run to meet the enemy.

-Charles Spurgeon 



On the Psalms....

What was the preparation of the son of Jesse for the songs like unto which none other have ever sounded on this earth? The outrage of the wicked, which brought forth cries for God's help. Then the faint hope in God's goodness blossomed into a song of rejoicing for His mighty deliverances and manifold mercies. Every sorrow was another string to his harp; every deliverance another theme for praise.

-Anna Shipton

As amazing and improbable as it may seem, it is all--every jot of it--God's plan.

It seems amazing and improbable.

Indeed, life itself is, by our understanding, amazing and improbable, but here we are, on God's own time, not our own, and leading, marching towards an end.  God foresees and preordains that end, even before time, and he gently nudges us towards the finish.

Take heart.

 

The lesson of faith once learned, is an everlasting acquisition and an eternal fortune made; and without trust even riches will leave us poor.  -LB Cowman
