Dear Reader,
Thank you for stopping by. Thank God for His tender mercies and lovingkindness in my life. Below, is my sharing from a very comforting and encouraging excerpts taken from the Devotional by Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning and Evening, 15 September, Morning.
May God encouraged and comfort you too as He guide you through the various changing scenes in your life. If you are facing difficulties and your are hurting, grieving and or in pain, may God comforts you through His Words and this devotional by CH Spurgeon:
"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings." Psalm 112:7
Christian, you ought not to dread the arrival of evil tidings; because if you are distressed by them, what do you more than other men? Other men have not your God to fly to; they have never proved his faithfulness as you have done, and it is no wonder if they are bowed down with alarm and cowed with fear:
But you profess to be of another spirit; you have been begotten again unto a lively hope, and your heart lives in heaven and not on earthly things; now, if you are seen to be distracted as other men, what is the value of that grace which you profess to have received? Where is the dignity of that new nature which you claim to possess?
Again, if you should be filled with alarm, as others are, you would, doubtless, be led into the sins so common to others under trying circumstances. The ungodly, when they are overtaken by evil tidings, rebel against God; they murmur, and think that God deals hardly with them. Will you fall into that same sin? Will you provoke the Lord as they do?
Moreover, unconverted men often run to wrong means in order to escape from difficulties, and you will be sure to do the same if your mind yields to the present pressure.
Trust in the Lord, and wait patiently for him. Your wisest course is to do as Moses did at the Red Sea, "Stand still and see the salvation of God."
For if you give way to fear when you hear of evil tidings, you will be unable to meet the trouble with that calm composure which nerves for duty, and sustains under adversity.
How can you glorify God if you play the coward?
Saints have often sung God's high praises in the fires, but will your doubting and desponding, as if you had none to help you, magnify the Most High?
Then take courage, and relying in sure confidence upon the faithfulness of your covenant God, "let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
