Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Tuesday July 9, 2019 |
Morning Time: 11:22 AM PST
"Forget not all His benefits." --Psalm 103:2
It is a delightful and profitable occupation to mark the hand of God in the
lives of ancient saints, and to observe His goodness in delivering them, His
mercy in pardoning them, and His faithfulness in keeping His covenant with them.
But would it not be even more interesting and profitable for us to remark the
hand of God in our own lives? Ought we not to look upon our own history as being
at least as full of God, as full of His goodness and of His truth, as much a
proof of His faithfulness and veracity, as the lives of any of the saints who
have gone before? We do our Lord an injustice when we suppose that He wrought
all His mighty acts, and showed Himself strong for those in the early time, but
doth not perform wonders or lay bare His arm for the saints who are now upon the
earth. Let us review our own lives. Surely in these we may discover some happy
incidents, refreshing to ourselves and glorifying to our God. Have you had no
deliverances? Have you passed through no rivers, supported by the divine
presence? Have you walked through no fires unharmed? Have you had no
manifestations? Have you had no choice favours? The God who gave
Solomon the desire of his heart, hath He never listened to you and answered your
requests? That God of lavish bounty of whom David sang, "Who satisfieth thy
mouth with good things," hath He never satiated you with fatness? Have
you never been made to lie down in green pastures? Have you never been led by
the still waters? Surely the goodness of God has been the same to us as to the
saints of old. Let us, then, weave His mercies into a song. Let us take the pure
gold of thankfulness, and the jewels of praise and make them into another crown
for the head of Jesus. Let our souls give forth music as sweet and as
exhilarating as came from David's harp, while we praise the Lord whose mercy
endureth for ever.
