Monday, November 2, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “I am the Lord, I change not.” Malachi3:6 It is well for us that, amidst all the variableness of life, there is One whom change cannot affect; One whose heart can never alter, and on whose brow mutability can make no furrows. All things else have changed—all things are changing.… (more…)

Sunday, November 1, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “The church in thy house.” ~ Philemon 2 ~ Is there a Church in this house? Are parents, children, friends, servants, all members of it? or are some still unconverted? Let us pause here and let the question go round—Am I a member of the Church in this house? How would… (more…)

Saturday, October 31, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “I will praise thee, O Lord.” Psalm 9:1 Praise should always follow answered prayer; as the mist of earth’s gratitude rises when the sun of heaven’s love warms the ground. Hath the Lord been gracious to thee, and inclined his ear to the voice of thy supplication? Then praise him… (more…)

Friday, October 30, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, etc.” Matthew 6:9 This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, “Our Father.” There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, “I will arise, and go unto my Father.” This child-like… (more…)

THIS prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, “Our Father.” There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, “I will arise, and go unto my Father.” This child-like spirit… (more…)

Wednesday, October 28, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “I have chosen you out of the world.”—John 15:19. HERE is distinguishing grace and discriminating regard; for some are made the special objects of divine affection. Do not be afraid to dwell upon this high doctrine of election. When your mind is most heavy and depressed, you will find it… (more…)

Tuesday, October 27, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “It is a faithful saying.”—2 Timothy 2:11. PAUL has four of these “faithful sayings.” The first occurs in 1 Timothy 1:15, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” The next is in 1 Timothy 4:6, “Godliness is… (more…)

Monday, October 26, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.”—Haggai 1:9. CHURLISH souls stint their contributions to… (more…)

Sunday, October 25, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “For the truths sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.”—2 John 2. ONCE let the truth of God obtain an entrance into the human heart and subdue the whole man unto itself, no power human or infernal can dislodge it. We entertain it not as… (more…)

Saturday, October 24, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “The trees of the Lord are full of sap.”—Psalm 104:16. WITHOUT sap the tree cannot flourish or even exist. Vitality is essential to a Christian. There must be life—a vital principle infused into us by God the Holy Ghost, or we cannot be trees of the Lord. The mere name… (more…)

Friday, October 23, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Will ye also go away?”—John 6:67. MANY have forsaken Christ, and have walked no more with Him; but what reason have YOU to make a change? Has there been any reason for it in the past? Has not Jesus proved Himself all-sufficient? He appeals to you this morning—”Have I been… (more…)

Thursday, October 22, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “I will love them freely.”—Hosea 14:4. THIS sentence is a body of divinity in miniature. He who understands its meaning is a theologian, and he who can dive into its fulness is a true master in Israel. It is a condensation of the glorious message of salvation which was delivered… (more…)

Wednesday, October 21, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “The love of Christ constraineth us.”—2 Corinthians 5:14. HOW much owest thou unto my Lord? Has He ever done anything for thee? Has He forgiven thy sins? Has He covered thee with a robe of righteousness? Has He set thy feet upon a rock? Has He established thy goings? Has… (more…)

Tuesday, October 20, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Grow up into Him in all things.”—Ephesians 4:15. MANY Christians remain stunted and dwarfed in spiritual things, so as to present the same appearance year after year. No up-springing of advanced and refined feeling is manifest in them. They exist but do not “grow up into Him in all things.”… (more…)

Monday, October 19, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Babes in Christ.”—1 Corinthians 3:1. ARE you mourning, believer, because you are so weak in the divine life: because your faith is so little, your love so feeble? Cheer up, for you have cause for gratitude. Remember that in some things you are equal to the greatest and most full-grown… (more…)

Sunday, October 18, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Thy paths drop fatness.”—Psalm 65:11. MANY are “the paths of the Lord” which “drop fatness,” but an especial one is the path of prayer. No believer, who is much in the closet, will have need to cry, “My leanness, my leanness; woe unto me.” Starving souls live at a distance… (more…)

Saturday, October 17, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul.”—1 Samuel 27:1. THE thought of David’s heart at this time was a false thought, because he certainly had no ground for thinking that God’s anointing him by Samuel was intended to be left… (more…)

Friday, October 16, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine.”—John 21:12. IN these words the believer is invited to a holy nearness to Jesus. “Come and dine,” implies the same table, the same meat; ay, and sometimes it means to sit side by side, and lean our head upon the Saviour’s bosom. It… (more…)

Thursday, October 15, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “But who may abide the day of his coming?”—Malachi 3:2. HIS first coming was without external pomp or show of power, and yet in truth there were few who could abide its testing might. Herod and all Jerusalem with him were stirred at the news of the wondrous birth. Those… (more…)

Wednesday, October 14, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord.”—Philippians 3:8. SPIRITUAL knowledge of Christ will be a personal knowledge. I cannot know Jesus through another person’s acquaintance with Him. No, I must know Him myself; I must know Him on my own… (more…)

Tuesday, October 13, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Godly sorrow worketh repentance.”—2 Corinthians 7:10. GENUINE, spiritual mourning for sin is the work of the Spirit of God. Repentance is too choice a flower to grow in nature’s garden. Pearls grow naturally in oysters, but penitence never shows itself in sinners except divine grace works it in them. If… (more…)

Monday, October 12, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “I will meditate in Thy precepts.”—Psalm 119:15. THERE are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in His service. We… (more…)

Sunday, October 11, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.”—Lamentations 3:41. THE act of prayer teaches us our unworthiness, which is a very salutary lesson for such proud beings as we are. If God gave us favours without constraining us to pray for them we should… (more…)

Saturday, October 10, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Faultless before the presence of His glory.”—Jude 24. REVOLVE in your mind that wondrous word, faultless!” We are far off from it now; but as our Lord never stops short of perfection in His work of love, we shall reach it one day. The Saviour who will keep His people… (more…)

Friday, October 09, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Able to keep you from falling.”—Jude 24. IN some sense the path to heaven is very safe, but in other respects there is no road so dangerous. It is beset with difficulties. One false step (and how easy it is to take that if grace be absent), and down we… (more…)

Thursday, October 08, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.”—Luke 5:4. WE learn from this narrative, the necessity of human agency. The draught of fishes was miraculous, yet neither the fisherman nor his boat, nor his fishing tackle were ignored; but all were used to take the… (more…)

Wednesday, October 07, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Wherefore hast Thou afflicted Thy servant?”—Numbers 11:11. OUR heavenly Father sends us frequent troubles to try our faith. If our faith be worth anything, it will stand the test. Gilt is afraid of fire, but gold is not: the paste gem dreads to be touched by the diamond, but the… (more…)

Tuesday, October 06, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst.”—John 4:14. HE who is a believer in Jesus finds enough in his Lord to satisfy him now, and to content him for evermore. The believer is not the man whose days are weary for want of comfort,… (more…)

Monday, October 05, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “He arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights.”—1 Kings 19:8. ALL the strength supplied to us by our gracious God is meant for service, not for wantonness or boasting. When the prophet Elijah found the cake baked on… (more…)

Sunday, October 04, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “At evening time it shall be light.”—Zechariah 14:7. OFTEN TIMES we look forward with forebodings to the time of old age, forgetful that at eventide it shall be light. To many saints, old age is the choicest season in their lives. A balmier air fans the mariner’s cheek as he… (more…)

Saturday, October 03, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”—Hebrews 1:14. ANGELS are the unseen attendants of the saints of God; they bear us up in their hands, lest we dash our foot against a stone. Loyalty to their Lord leads them… (more…)

Friday, October 02, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “The hope which is laid up for you in heaven.”—Colossians 1:5. OUR hope in Christ for the future is the mainspring and the mainstay of our joy here. It will animate our hearts to think often of heaven, for all that we can desire is promised there. Here we are… (more…)

Wednesday, September 30, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Sing forth the honour of His name, make His praise glorious.”—Psalm 66:2. I is not left to our own option whether we shall praise God or not. Praise is God’s most righteous due, and every Christian, as the recipient of His grace, is bound to praise God from day to… (more…)

Tuesday, September 29, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague.”—Leviticus 13:13. STRANGE enough this regulation appears, yet there was wisdom in it, for the throwing out of the disease proved that the constitution was sound. This morning it may be well for… (more…)
