C. H. Spurgeon's
Evening Reading
(September 7th)

"There is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet." — Jeremiah 49:23
Little know we what sorrow may be upon the sea at this moment. We are safe in our quiet chamber, but far away on the salt sea the hurricane may be cruelly seeking for the lives of men. Hear how the death fiends howl among the cordage; how every timber starts as the waves beat like battering rams upon the vessel! God help you, poor drenched and wearied ones! My prayer goes up to the great Lord of sea and land, that He will make the storm a calm, and bring you to your desired haven! Nor ought I to offer prayer alone, I should try to benefit those hardy men who risk their lives so constantly. Have I ever done anything for them? What can I do? How often does the boisterous sea swallow up the mariner! Thousands of corpses lie where pearls lie deep. There is death-sorrow on the sea, which is echoed in the long wail of widows and orphans. The salt of the sea is in many eyes of mothers and wives. Remorseless billows, ye have devoured the love of women, and the stay of households. What a resurrection shall there be from the caverns of the deep when the sea gives up her dead! Till then there will be sorrow on the sea. As if in sympathy with the woes of earth, the sea is for ever fretting along a thousand shores, wailing with a sorrowful cry like her own birds, booming with a hollow crash of unrest, raving with uproarious discontent, chafing with hoarse wrath, or jangling with the voices of ten thousand murmuring pebbles. The roar of the sea may be joyous to a rejoicing spirit, but to the son of sorrow the wide, wide ocean is even more forlorn than the wide, wide world. This is not our rest, and the restless billows tell us so. There is a land where there is no more sea-our faces are steadfastly set towards it; we are going to the place of which the Lord hath spoken. Till then, we cast our sorrows on the Lord who trod the sea of old, and who maketh a way for His people through the depths thereof.

In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the Lord of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.

PRINCIPAL OF THE DAY #2
EVERY SIN HAS ITS ORIGIN IN OUR HEARTS.

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
Ephesians 5:11-12 KJV

Have you allowed yourself to be trapped in the “Good Old Days” by continuing to replay the unfruitful days of your past?
It is those very same unfruitful days that kept your heart in the darkness of this world. It is those “Good Old Days” that brought the sin, pain and suffering that Jesus Christ saved you from into your life to begin with.
We have to quit looking back to where we were and keep our eyes on the prize that awaits us in the day’s ahead and our future in eternity with Christ.
There are times we need to think back at where Christ found us. To never forget what Christ has done for us. To give thanks to Christ for bringing us up out of the pits of hell that we were destined to spend eternity in.
We should never look back longing to be reunited with those days. Never!

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…”
Proverbs 23:7 KJV

We have to change the way we think before we will see any change in the way we live. It is nothing more than”Stinking Thinking “ that keeps us looking back longingly at the past. By doing this we make it easy for ourselves to fall back into our old ways.

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Proverbs 4:23 KJV

We must be diligent in protecting our eye gate and ear gate from both outside and inside influences that are not centered on the Word of God.
If they don’t aligne with what God has said is right and wrong, then they have to go.
The closer we stay to God the more of the important issues of life we will receive.
Love, Joy, Peace, Happiness, Friendship, and Financial will only be given to those who diligently work to guard their hearts from being hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
Proverbs 3:5-7 KJV

We have to choose to let go and let God be first in all that we think, say and do.
Choose to truly let Him be the Lord of our life.
Choose to look to Him for everything.
Choose to keep looking to the Cross and all He has done for us.
It is our relationship with Jesus Christ that makes us be the Overcomer’s God designed us to be.

“But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.”
Romans 13:14 KJV

C. H. Spurgeon's
Morning Reading
(September 7th)

"And when they could not come nigh unto Him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay." — Mark 2:4
Faith is full of inventions. The house was full, a crowd blocked up the door, but faith found a way of getting at the Lord and placing the palsied man before Him. If we cannot get sinners where Jesus is by ordinary methods we must use extraordinary ones. It seems, according to Luke 5:19, that a tiling had to be removed, which would make dust and cause a measure of danger to those below, but where the case is very urgent we must not mind running some risks and shocking some proprieties. Jesus was there to heal, and therefore fall what might, faith ventured all so that her poor paralyzed charge might have his sins forgiven. O that we had more daring faith among us! Cannot we, dear reader, seek it this morning for ourselves and for our fellow-workers, and will we not try to-day to perform some gallant act for the love of souls and the glory of the Lord.
The world is constantly inventing; genius serves all the purposes of human desire: cannot faith invent too, and reach by some new means the outcasts who lie perishing around us? It was the presence of Jesus which excited victorious courage in the four bearers of the palsied man: is not the Lord among us now? Have we seen His face for ourselves this morning? Have we felt His healing power in our own souls? If so, then through door, through window, or through roof, let us, breaking through all impediments, labour to bring poor souls to Jesus. All means are good and decorous when faith and love are truly set on winning souls. If hunger for bread can break through stone walls, surely hunger for souls is not to be hindered in its efforts. O Lord, make us quick to suggest methods of reaching Thy poor sin-sick ones, and bold to carry them out at all hazards.
