Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Tuesday February 21, 2017 |
Morning Time: 6:15 AM PST
"He hath said." --Hebrews 13:5
If we can only grasp these words by faith, we have an all-conquering weapon
in our hand. What doubt will not be slain by this two-edged sword? What fear is
there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from
the bow of God's covenant? Will not the distresses of life and the pangs of
death; will not the corruptions within, and the snares without; will not the
trials from above, and the temptations from beneath, all seem but light
afflictions, when we can hide ourselves beneath the bulwark of "He hath said"?
Yes; whether for delight in our quietude, or for strength in our conflict, "He
hath said" must be our daily resort. And this may teach us the extreme value of
searching the Scriptures. There may be a promise in the Word which would
exactly fit your case, but you may not know of it, and therefore you miss its
comfort. You are like prisoners in a dungeon, and there may be one key in the
bunch which would unlock the door, and you might be free; but if you will not
look for it, you may remain a prisoner still, though liberty is so near at hand.
There may be a potent medicine in the great pharmacopoeia of Scripture, and you
may yet continue sick unless you will examine and search the Scriptures to
discover what "He hath said." Should you not, besides reading the Bible, store
your memories richly with the promises of God? You can recollect the sayings of
great men; you treasure up the verses of renowned poets; ought you not to be
profound in your knowledge of the words of God, so that you may be able to quote
them readily when you would solve a difficulty, or overthrow a doubt? Since "He
hath said" is the source of all wisdom, and the fountain of all comfort, let it
dwell in you richly, as "A well of water, springing up unto everlasting life."
So shall you grow healthy, strong, and happy in the divine life.
