Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Tuesday May 16, 2017 |
Morning Time: 11:33 AM PST
"Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy." --1 Timothy 6:17
Our Lord Jesus is ever giving, and does not for a solitary instant withdraw
His hand. As long as there is a vessel of grace not yet full to the brim, the
oil shall not be stayed. He is a sun ever-shining; He is manna always falling
round the camp; He is a rock in the desert, ever sending out streams of life
from His smitten side; the rain of His grace is always dropping; the river of
His bounty is ever-flowing, and the well-spring of His love is constantly
overflowing. As the King can never die, so His grace can never fail. Daily we
pluck His fruit, and daily His branches bend down to our hand with a fresh store
of mercy. There are seven feast-days in His weeks, and as many as are the days,
so many are the banquets in His years. Who has ever returned from His door
unblessed? Who has ever risen from His table unsatisfied, or from His bosom
un-emparadised? His mercies are new every morning and fresh every evening. Who
can know the number of His benefits, or recount the list of His bounties? Every
sand which drops from the glass of time is but the tardy follower of a myriad of
mercies. The wings of our hours are covered with the silver of His kindness, and
with the yellow gold of His affection. The river of time bears from the
mountains of eternity the golden sands of His favour. The countless stars are
but as the standard bearers of a more innumerable host of blessings. Who can
count the dust of the benefits which He bestows on Jacob, or tell the number of
the fourth part of His mercies towards Israel? How shall my soul extol Him who
daily loadeth us with benefits, and who crowneth us with loving-kindness? O that
my praise could be as ceaseless as His bounty! O miserable tongue, how canst
thou be silent? Wake up, I pray thee, lest I call thee no more my glory, but my
shame. "Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early."
