MORNING
Abundance, celestial business, fellowship, and security all flow from the Lord in majesty. We are created in His image. We are redeemed by the precious blood of the Lamb. We are heirs with Christ. What security we have in Him! As this Thanksgiving week unfolds let us give ourselves to praise. We have so much to be thankful for! "It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High. To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning and Your faithfulness every night." - Psalm 92:1, 2
EVENING (11/23)
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled." "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matthew 5:6&8. It is a promise that as we hunger and thirst for His righteousness we will be filled and being pure of heart we shall see God. I think that's what Spurgeon is trying to tell us in this devotion. How many of us "pines in a dungeon when he might walk on the palace roof and view the goodly land?" Laziness, lethargy, coldness keep us in the pit when our destiny is to sit on a throne! May we heed the call to a higher plane and "press forward to things more sublime and heavenly." "Aspire to a higher, nobler, fuller life. Upward to heaven! Nearer to God!"
