Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Monday May 13, 2019 |
Morning Time: 12:42 AM PST
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." --Psalm 30:5
Christian! If thou art in a night of trial, think of the morrow; cheer up thy
heart with the thought of the coming of thy Lord. Be patient, for
"Lo! He comes with clouds descending."
Be patient! The Husbandman waits until He reaps His harvest. Be
patient; for you know who has said, "Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is
with me, to give to every man according as his work shall be." If you are never
so wretched now, remember
"A few more rolling suns, at most,
Will land thee on fair Canaan's coast."
Thy head may be crowned with thorny troubles now, but it shall wear a
starry crown ere long; thy hand may be filled with cares--it shall sweep the
strings of the harp of heaven soon. Thy garments may be soiled with dust now;
they shall be white by-and-by. Wait a little longer. Ah! how despicable our
troubles and trials will seem when we look back upon them! Looking at them here
in the prospect, they seem immense; but when we get to heaven we shall then
"With transporting joys recount,
The labours of our feet."
Our trials will then seem light and momentary afflictions. Let us go
on boldly; if the night be never so dark, the morning cometh, which is more than
they can say who are shut up in the darkness of hell. Do you know what it is
thus to live on the future--to live on expectation--to antedate heaven? Happy
believer, to have so sure, so comforting a hope. It may be all dark now, but it
will soon be light; it may be all trial now, but it will soon be all happiness.
What matters it though "weeping may endure for a night," when "joy cometh in the
morning?"
