“The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence.”

This month we will read choices from Charles Spurgeon’s (known affectionately as the “prince of preachers”) devotional, “Beside Still Waters.” It’s no secret that this world system is getting more evil by the day. We have to stand strong in the Lord and look to Him more than ever to get through, and to be guided through, what is in the future……..known and allowed by Him alone…..as well as whatever personal things we are experiencing in our lives.
PASTOR SPURGEON:
God has not promised to rescue us according to our time schedule. If it appears that your prayers are unanswered, do not dishonor the Lord with unbelief. Waiting in faith is a high form of worship. In some respects, it excels the adoration of the shining ones above.
God delivers His servants in ways that exercise their faith. He would not have them lacking in faith, for faith is the wealth of the heavenly life. He desires that the trial of faith continues until faith grows strong and comes to full assurance. The sycamore fig never ripens into sweetness unless it is bruised; the same is true of faith. Tested believer, God will bring you through, but do not expect Him to bring you through in the way that human reason suggests, for that would not develop your faith:
God works in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform.
He plants His footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm.
You fearful saints, fresh courage take: the clouds you so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break in blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust Him for His grace:
Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, and he will make it plain.
God has a way of His own. “My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are my ways your ways, says the Lord.” (Isaiah 55:8).
“Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.” (Job 37:14).
Obey Him, and that will be far more in accord with your position as a finite creature than the vain attempt to map out a course for your Creator!

Amen! Yes the Lord God is awesome and He’s always aware of what each of us have need of in our life’s daily. When we each consider His holiness and His presence in our life’s. He ensures that all things we have need of are richly and abundantly supplied to each of us as His Chosen One’s here this side of heaven. This was a really great read. Thanks for sharing your heart with each of us who’ve read it. Have a super blessed day in Jesus’s mighty name. God bless.

Thank you, Sir. Pastor Spurgeon is rightly named the “Prince of Preachers”. I have been a widow for four years, and have had a widow messaging ministry almost that long. With times like they are now, and evil growing, the Lord led me to expand it to this, my older website also, along with other groups. We all need encouragement to face what is surely coming our way in this fallen world. Thank you for the encouragement, Sir, and may God’s blessings abound on you and yours.
