Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Evening Devotional For Friday July 13, 2018 |
Evening Time: 1:14 PM PST
"When I cry unto Thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for
God is for me." --Psalm 56:9
It is impossible for any human speech to express the full meaning of this
delightful phrase, "God is for me." He was "for us" before the worlds
were made; He was "for us," or He would not have given His well-beloved son; He
was "for us" when He smote the Only-begotten, and laid the full weight of His
wrath upon Him--He was "for us," though He was against Him; He was
"for us," when we were ruined in the fall--He loved us notwithstanding all; He
was "for us," when we were rebels against Him, and with a high hand were bidding
Him defiance; He was "for us," or He would not have brought us humbly to seek
His face. He has been "for us" in many struggles; we have been summoned to
encounter hosts of dangers; we have been assailed by temptations from without
and within--how could we have remained unharmed to this hour if He had not been
"for us"? He is "for us," with all the infinity of His being; with all the
omnipotence of His love; with all the infallibility of His wisdom; arrayed in
all His divine attributes, He is "for us,"--eternally and immutably "for us";
"for us" when yon blue skies shall be rolled up like a worn out vesture; "for
us" throughout eternity. And because He is "for us," the voice of prayer will
always ensure His help. "When I cry unto Thee, then shall mine enemies be
turned back." This is no uncertain hope, but a well grounded
assurance--"this I know." I will direct my prayer unto Thee, and will
look up for the answer, assured that it will come, and that mine enemies shall
be defeated, "for God is for me." O believer, how happy art thou with the King
of kings on thy side! How safe with such a Protector! How sure thy cause pleaded
by such an Advocate! If God be for thee, who can be against thee?
