SOME SPURGEON FOR YOUR THINKING...
Taken from "Morning and Evening" -- August 31 Morning.
In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on his God alone. When his vessel is on its beamends, and no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God and God alone....
... when he is burdened with troubles so pressing and so peculiar, that he cannot tell them to any but his God, he may be thankful for them; for he will learn more of his Lord then than at any other time....
... Now that thou hast only thy God to trust to, see that thou puttest thy full confidence in Him. Dishonour not thy Lord and Master by unworthy doubts and fears; but be strong in faith, giving glory to God....
...your faith would lose its glory if it rested on anything discernible by the carnal eye.

Oh how I have come to *love* Spurgeon over the years...SUCH balm for the soul and encouragement to be found in his writings! May the LORD bless "Morning and Evening" to you abundantly over and over and over again! :)

Thank you SO MUCH for this book, Camille!! I have already gotten very attached to it. :) I also hope to start the other one soon, too, now that things are calming down a bit around here. You are such a blessing to me!
Isn't it WONDERFUL?? We have SO benefitted from it over the years! You are most welcome for the books...please receive them as from the LORD Terri ~ HE is indeed the giver of ALL things. I am so happy you are being blessed by it...I figured you would be! :)
AND just thought I'd tell you...the reading you chose to quote from yesterday was in fact today's reading and it was SUCH a blessing to us (Howie and me) on THIS day...really, SO wonderful and applicable to what we are facing right now. How PRECIOUS our GREAT God is!! Thank you for sharing!
With Love,

I read the wrong date yesterday, but think God intended me to... :) It was such a blessing, as were both of yesterday's readings....
I actually didn't mean to "correct" you...I thought you did that on purpose! Funny how the LORD works even with mixing up dates hey? :)
Have a terrific day!
Love,
Camille
