Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Monday June 19, 2017 |
Morning Time: 10:28 AM PST
"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost." --Acts 2:4
Rich were the blessings of this day if all of us were filled with the Holy
Ghost. The consequences of this sacred filling of the soul it would be
impossible to overestimate. Life, comfort, light, purity, power, peace; and many
other precious blessings are inseparable from the Spirit's benign presence. As
sacred oil, He anoints the head of the believer, sets him apart to the
priesthood of saints, and gives him grace to execute his office aright. As the
only truly purifying water He cleanses us from the power of sin and
sanctifies us unto holiness, working in us to will and to do of the Lord's good
pleasure. As the light, He manifested to us at first our lost estate, and
now He reveals the Lord Jesus to us and in us, and guides us in the way of
righteousness. Enlightened by His pure celestial ray, we are no more darkness
but light in the Lord. As fire, He both purges us from dross, and sets
our consecrated nature on a blaze. He is the sacrificial flame by which we are
enabled to offer our whole souls as a living sacrifice unto God. As heavenly
dew, He removes our barrenness and fertilizes our lives. O that He would
drop from above upon us at this early hour! Such morning dew would be a sweet
commencement for the day. As the dove, with wings of peaceful love He
broods over His Church and over the souls of believers, and as a Comforter He
dispels the cares and doubts which mar the peace of His beloved. He descends
upon the chosen as upon the Lord in Jordan, and bears witness to their sonship
by working in them a filial spirit by which they cry Abba, Father. As the
wind, He brings the breath of life to men; blowing where He listeth He
performs the quickening operations by which the spiritual creation is animated
and sustained. Would to God, that we might feel His presence this day and every
day.
