Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Tuesday January 9, 2018 |
Morning Time: 3:47 AM PST
"I will be their God." --Jeremiah 31:33
Christian! here is all thou canst require. To make thee happy thou wantest
something that shall satisfy thee; and is not this enough? If thou canst pour
this promise into thy cup, wilt thou not say, with David, "My cup runneth over;
I have more than heart can wish"? When this is fulfilled, "I am thy God,"
art thou not possessor of all things? Desire is insatiable as death, but He who
filleth all in all can fill it. The capacity of our wishes who can measure? but
the immeasurable wealth of God can more than overflow it. I ask thee if thou art
not complete when God is thine? Dost thou want anything but God? Is not His
all-sufficiency enough to satisfy thee if all else should fail? But thou wantest
more than quiet satisfaction; thou desirest rapturous delight. Come,
soul, here is music fit for heaven in this thy portion, for God is the Maker of
Heaven. Not all the music blown from sweet instruments, or drawn from living
strings, can yield such melody as this sweet promise, "I will be their God."
Here is a deep sea of bliss, a shoreless ocean of delight; come, bathe thy
spirit in it; swim an age, and thou shalt find no shore; dive throughout
eternity, and thou shalt find no bottom. "I will be their God." If this do not
make thine eyes sparkle, and thy heart beat high with bliss, then assuredly thy
soul is not in a healthy state. But thou wantest more than present
delights--thou cravest something concerning which thou mayest exercise
hope; and what more canst thou hope for than the fulfillment of this
great promise, "I will be their God"? This is the masterpiece of all the
promises; its enjoyment makes a heaven below, and will make a heaven above.
Dwell in the light of thy Lord, and let thy soul be always ravished with His
love. Get out the marrow and fatness which this portion yields thee. Live up to
thy privileges, and rejoice with unspeakable joy.
