Sunday, June 28, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Looking unto Jesus.”—Hebrews 12:2. IT is ever the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus; but Satan’s work is just the opposite of this, for he is constantly trying to make us regard ourselves instead of Christ. He insinuates, “Your sins are too great for… (more…)

Saturday, June 27, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Only ye shall not go very far away.”—Exodus 8:28. THIS is a crafty word from the lip of the arch-tyrant Pharaoh. If the poor bondaged Israelites must needs go out of Egypt, then he bargains with them that it shall not be very far away; not too far for them… (more…)

Friday, June 26, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Art thou become like unto us?”—Isaiah 14:10. WHAT must be the apostate professor’s doom when his naked soul appears before God? How will he bear that voice, “Depart, ye cursed; thou hast rejected me, and I reject thee; thou hast played the harlot, and departed from Me: I also have… (more…)

Thursday, June 25, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Get thee up into the high mountain.”—Isaiah 40:9. OUR knowledge of Christ is somewhat like climbing one of our Welsh mountains. When you are at the base you see but little: the mountain itself appears to be but one-half as high as it really is. Confined in a little valley,… (more…)

Wednesday, June 24, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “A certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto Him, Blessed is the womb that bare Thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But He said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”—Luke 11:27, 28. IT is fondly… (more…)

 Tuesday, June 23, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Ephraim is a cake not turned.”—Hosea 7:8. A cake not turned is uncooked on one side; and so Ephraim was, in many respects, untouched by divine grace: though there was some partial obedience, there was very much rebellion left. My soul, I charge thee, see whether this be thy case.… (more…)

Monday, June 22, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “He shall build the temple of the Lord; and He shall bear the glory.”—Zechariah 6:13. CHRIST Himself is the builder of His spiritual temple, and He has built it on the mountains of His unchangeable affection, His omnipotent grace, and His infallible truthfulness. But as it was in Solomon’s temple,… (more…)

Sunday, June 21, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Thou art fairer than the children of men.”—Psalm 45:2. THE entire person of Jesus is but as one gem, and His life is all along but one impression of the seal. He is altogether complete; not only in His several parts, but as a gracious all-glorious whole. His character is… (more…)

Saturday, June 20, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.”—Amos 9:9. EVERY sifting comes by divine command and permission. Satan must ask leave before he can… (more…)

Friday, June 19, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.”—Acts 2:4. RICH were the blessings of this day if all of us were filled with the Holy Ghost. The consequences of this sacred filling of the soul it would be impossible to overestimate. Life, comfort, light, purity, power, peace; and many… (more…)

Thursday, June 18, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Thy Redeemer.”—Isaiah 54:5. JESUS, the Redeemer, is altogether ours and ours for ever. All the offices of Christ are held on our behalf. He is king for us, priest for us, and prophet for us. Whenever we read a new title of the Redeemer, let us appropriate Him as ours… (more…)

Wednesday, June 17, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Help, Lord.”—Psalm 12:1. THE prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short, but seasonable, sententious, and suggestive. David mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication—when the creature failed, he flew to the Creator. He evidently felt his own weakness, or he would not… (more…)

Tuesday, June 16, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish.”—John 10:28. THE Christian should never think or speak lightly of unbelief. For a child of God to mistrust His love, His truth, His faithfulness, must be greatly displeasing to Him. How can we ever grieve Him by doubting… (more…)

Monday, June 15, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.”—Genesis 21:6. IT was far above the power of nature, and even contrary to its laws, that the aged Sarah should be honoured with a son; and even so it is beyond all… (more…)

Sunday, June 14, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Delight thyself also in the Lord.”—Psalm 37:4. THE teaching of these words must seem very surprising to those who are strangers to vital godliness, but to the sincere believer it is only the inculcation of a recognized truth. The life of the believer is here described as a delight in… (more…)

Saturday, June 13, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”—Revelation 22:17. JESUS says, “take freely.” He wants no payment or preparation. He seeks no recommendation from our virtuous emotions. If you have no good feelings, if you be but willing, you are invited; therefore come! You have no belief and… (more…)

Friday, June 12, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting.”—Daniel 5:27. IT is well frequently to weigh ourselves in the scale of God’s Word. You will find it a holy exercise to read some psalm of David, and, as you meditate upon each verse, to ask yourself, “Can I say… (more…)

Thursday, June 11, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. h. Spurgeon “We love Him because He first loved us.”—1 John 4:19. THERE is no light in the planet but that which proceedeth from the sun; and there is no true love to Jesus in the heart but that which cometh from the Lord Jesus himself. From this overflowing fountain of the… (more…)

Wednesday, June 10, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “We live unto the Lord.”—Romans 14:8. IF God had willed it, each of us might have entered heaven at the moment of conversion. It was not absolutely necessary for our preparation for immortality that we should tarry here. It is possible for a man to be taken to heaven, and… (more…)

Tuesday, June 09, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad.”—Psalm 126:3. SOME Christians are sadly prone to look on the dark side of everything, and to dwell more upon what they have gone through than upon what God has done for them. Ask for their impression of the… (more…)

Monday, June 08, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “There fell down many slain, because the war was of God.”—1 Chronicles 5:22. WARRIOR, fighting under the banner of the Lord Jesus, observe this verse with holy joy, for as it was in the days of old so is it now, if the war be of God the victory is… (more…)

Sunday, June 07, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Ye that love the Lord hate evil.”—Psalm 97:10. THOU hast good reason to “hate evil,” for only consider what harm it has already wrought thee. Oh, what a world of mischief sin has brought into thy heart! Sin blinded thee so that thou couldst not see the beauty of the… (more…)

  Saturday, June 06, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Behold, I am vile.”—Job 40:4. ONE cheering word, poor lost sinner, for thee! You think you must not come to God because YOU are vile. Now, there is not a saint living on earth but has been made to feel that he is vile. If Job, and Isaiah, and… (more…)

  Friday, June 05, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “The Lord shut him in.”—Genesis 7:16. NOAH was shut in away from all the world by the hand of divine love. The door of electing purpose interposes between us and the world which lieth in the wicked one. We are not of the world even as our Lord Jesus was not… (more…)

  Thursday, June 04, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “The kindness and love of God our Saviour.”—Titus 3:4. HOW sweet it is to behold the Saviour communing with His own beloved people!

  Wednesday, June 03, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “These were potters, and those that dwelt among plants and hedges: there they dwelt with the king for his work.” —1 Chronicles 4:23. POTTERS were not the very highest grade of workers, but “the king” needed potters, and therefore they were in royal service, although the material upon which… (more…)

  Tuesday, June 02, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.”. -GALATIANS 5:17 In every believer’s heart there is a constant struggle between the old nature and the new. The old nature is very active, and loses no opportunity of plying all the weapons of its deadly… (more…)

  Monday, June 01, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “The evening and the morning were the first day.”—Genesis 1:5. WAS it so even in the beginning? Did light and darkness divide the realm of time in the first day? Then little wonder is it if I have also changes in my circumstances from the sunshine of prosperity to… (more…)

  Sunday, May 31, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron.”—2 Samuel 15:23. DAVID passed that gloomy brook when flying with his mourning company from his traitor son. The man after God’s own heart was not exempt from trouble, nay, his life was full of it. He was both the Lord’s… (more…)

  Saturday, May 30, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Take us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines.” Song of Solomon 2:15 Alittle thorn may cause much suffering. A little cloud may hide the sun. Little foxes spoil the vines; and little sins do mischief to the tender heart. These little sins burrow in the soul,… (more…)

  Friday, May 29, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Thou hatest wickedness.”—Psalm 45:7. BE ye angry, and sin not.” There can hardly be goodness in a man if he be not angry at sin; he who loves truth must hate every false way. How our Lord Jesus hated it when the temptation came! Thrice it assailed Him in… (more…)

Thursday, May 28, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Whom He justified, them He also glorified.”—Romans 8:30. HERE is a precious truth for thee, believer. Thou mayest be poor, or in suffering, or unknown, but for thine encouragement take a review of thy “calling” and the consequences that flow from it, and especially that blessed result here spoken of.… (more…)

Wednesday, May 27, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet.”—2 Samuel 9:13. MEPHIBOSHETH was no great ornament to a royal table, yet he had a continual place at David’s board, because the king could see in his face the… (more…)

Tuesday, May 26, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.”—Psalm 55:22. CARE, even though exercised upon legitimate objects, if carried to excess, has in it the nature of sin. The precept to avoid anxious care is earnestly inculcated by our Saviour, again and again; it is reiterated by the… (more…)

Monday, May 25, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Forsake me not, O Lord.”—Psalm 38:21. FREQUENTLY we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we… (more…)
