Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Tuesday February 28, 2017 |
Morning Time: 3:18 AM PST
"My expectation is from Him." --Psalm 62:5
It is the believer's privilege to use this language. If he is looking for
aught from the world, it is a poor "expectation" indeed. But if he looks to God
for the supply of his wants, whether in temporal or spiritual blessings, his
expectation" will not be a vain one. Constantly he may draw from the bank of
faith, and get his need supplied out of the riches of God's lovingkindness. This
I know, I had rather have God for my banker than all the Rothschilds. My Lord
never fails to honour His promises; and when we bring them to His throne, He
never sends them back unanswered. Therefore I will wait only at His door, for He
ever opens it with the hand of munificent grace. At this hour I will try Him
anew. But we have "expectations" beyond this life. We shall die soon; and then
our "expectation is from Him." Do we not expect that when we lie upon the bed of
sickness He will send angels to carry us to His bosom? We believe that when the
pulse is faint, and the heart heaves heavily, some angelic messenger shall stand
and look with loving eyes upon us, and whisper, "Sister spirit, come away!" As
we approach the heavenly gate, we expect to hear the welcome invitation, "Come,
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world." We are expecting harps of gold and crowns of glory; we
are hoping soon to be amongst the multitude of shining ones before the throne;
we are looking forward and longing for the time when we shall be like our
glorious Lord--for "We shall see Him as He is." Then if these be thine
"expectations," O my soul, live for God; live with the desire and resolve to
glorify Him from whom cometh all thy supplies, and of whose grace in thy
election, redemption, and calling, it is that thou hast any "expectation" of
coming glory.
