Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Saturday April 27, 2024 |
Morning Time: 3:06 AM PST
"God, even our own God." --Psalm 67:6
It is strange how little use we make of the spiritual blessings which God
gives us, but it is stranger still how little use we make of God Himself. Though
He is "our own God," we apply ourselves but little to Him, and ask but little of
Him. How seldom do we ask counsel at the hands of the Lord! How often do we go
about our business, without seeking His guidance! In our troubles how constantly
do we strive to bear our burdens ourselves, instead of casting them upon the
Lord, that He may sustain us! This is not because we may not, for the Lord seems
to say, "I am thine, soul, come and make use of me as thou wilt; thou mayst
freely come to my store, and the oftener the more welcome." It is our own fault
if we make not free with the riches of our God. Then, since thou hast such a
friend, and He invites thee, draw from Him daily. Never want whilst thou hast a
God to go to; never fear or faint whilst thou hast God to help thee; go to thy
treasure and take whatever thou needest--there is all that thou canst want.
Learn the divine skill of making God all things to thee. He can supply thee with
all, or, better still, He can be to thee instead of all. Let me urge thee, then,
to make use of thy God. Make use of Him in prayer. Go to Him often,
because He is thy God. O, wilt thou fail to use so great a privilege? Fly
to Him, tell Him all thy wants. Use Him constantly by faith at all times.
If some dark providence has beclouded thee, use thy God as a "sun;" if some
strong enemy has beset thee, find in Jehovah a "shield," for He is a sun and
shield to His people. If thou hast lost thy way in the mazes of life, use Him as
a "guide," for He will direct thee. Whatever thou art, and wherever thou art,
remember God is just what thou wantest, and just where thou
wantest, and that He can do all thou wantest.
