***** *****

Matthew 10:30 Amp.

“But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered [for the Father is sovereign and has complete knowledge].”

Matthew 10:29

“Are not two little sparrows sold for a copper coin? And yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.”

Isaiah 66:15

“For indeed, the Lord will come in fire and His chariots will be like the stormy wind,

To render His anger with rage, and His rebuke with flames of fire.”

Genesis 3:8 (AMP)

“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool [afternoon breeze] of the day, so the man and his wife hid and kept themselves hidden from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.”

Psalm 46:4-5

“There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,

The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

 God is in the midst of her [His city], she will not be moved;

God will help her when the morning dawns.”

Jeremiah 51:15

“He made the earth by His power;  He established the world by His wisdom

And stretched out the heavens by His understanding.”

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:

Faith is the great sustaining energy when you are under trials or hard labor.  The Holy Spirit implants an active, operative faith in the Christian.  It is sent to sustain you during trials, and it is a riddle that we cannot explain.  Divine Purpose eternally fixes everything; nevertheless, the prayer of faith moves the arm of God.  And though the mystery cannot be explained, the facts cannot be denied.

My brothers and sisters may think me fanatical, but it is my firm belief that in ordinary matters, such as obtaining your living, educating your children, and running your household, you are to depend on God as much as in the grand matter of salvation. 

The very hairs you your head are numbered

Not a sparrow falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.

So throw your minor trials to the Lord.  Never think that anything is too little for your heavenly Father’s love.  He who rides the whirlwind also walks in the garden in the cool of the day. 

He who shakes the avalanche from its mountain also makes the autumn leaf twinkle as it falls from the aspen. 

He guides each grain of dust that is blown from the summer’s threshing floor.

Confide in Him for the little as well as for the great.  You will find that He does not fail.  He is the God of the hills as well as the God of the valleys.
