As this is a special day for me to watch God work again...there are times in our Christian lives we ask why or why us...let this exceptional devotion from Charles Spurgeon clear your thinking and renew your heart.

David passed that gloomy brook when fleeing with his sorry company from his traitorous son. The man after God's own heart was not exempt from trouble; in fact, his life was full of it. He was both the Lord's Anointed and the Lord's Afflicted. Why then should we expect to escape? At sorrow's gates the noblest of our race have waited with ashes on their heads. Why then should we complain as though some strange thing had happened unto us?

The King of kings Himself was not favored with a more cheerful or royal road. He passed over the filthy ditch of Kidron, through which the filth of Jerusalem flowed. God had one Son without sin, but not a single child without the rod. It is a great joy to believe that Jesus has been tempted in all points just as we are.

What is our Kidron this morning? Is it a faithless friend, a sad bereavement, a slanderous reproach, a dark foreboding? The King has passed over all these. Is it bodily pain, poverty, persecution, or contempt? Over each of these Kidrons the King has gone before us. "In all their affliction he was afflicted."1 The idea that trials are an unusual experience should be banished at once and forever, for He who is the Head of all saints knows by experience the grief that we consider so peculiar. All the citizens of Zion must be free of the Honorable Company of Mourners, of which the Prince Immanuel is Head and Captain.

Although David was abased, yet he returned in triumph to his city, and David's Lord rose victorious from the grave; so let us then be of good courage, for we also shall win the day. We will joyfully draw water out of the wells of salvation, even though we are presently faced with the harmful streams of sin and sorrow. Courage, soldiers of the Cross, the King himself triumphed after going over Kidron, and so will you.

"Awe of God puts theology in its place."

He is worthy of our worship and so much more!

Let's be grateful and thankful for what we have rather than frustrated on what we want. He is in control and not only knows us best but loves us more than we can imagine much less deserve. (Ephesians 3:20)

He is greater...stay faithful my friend!

The God who creates everything and needs nothing, pursues you. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re worth less than that.

"O Lord, I am a shell full of dust,
but animated with an invisible rational soul
and made anew by an unseen power of grace;
Yet I am no rare object of valuable price,
but one that has nothing and is nothing,
although chosen of thee from eternity,
given to Christ, and born again;
I am deeply convinced of the evil and misery of a sinful state,
of the vanity of creatures,
but also the sufficiency of Christ.
When thou wouldst guide me I control myself.
When thou wouldst be sovereign I rule myself.
When thou wouldst take care of me I suffice myself.
When I should depend on thy providings I supply myself.
When I should submit to they providence I follow my will.
When I should study, love, honor, trust thee, I serve myself.
I fault and correct thy laws to suit myself.
Instead of thee I look to man's approbation,
and am by nature an idolater.
Lord, it is my chief design to bring my heart back to thee.
Convince me that I can not be my own god, or make myself happy,
nor my own Christ to restore my joy,
nor my own Spirit to teach, guide, and rule me...
Then take me to the cross and leave me there."

Here's to all of my CHS family...We lost our classmate Cynthia Johnson some years ago and this past Sunday her Mom Opal Johnson passed away. Many of us knew the family and I knew you would want to know I will perform her Service Thursday, 26th, at 3pm. Visitation is at 2pm at the Garden of Memories on Lake Avenue.

"I pray that ... you may know ... the surpassing greatness of [God's] power toward us who believe" (Eph. 1:18-19).

The same divine power that created, sustains, and controls the universe secures your salvation.

The world is happy to let Jesus Christ be a baby in a manger, but not willing to let Him be the sovereign King and Lord that He is. Yet that is the central truth of the Christmas story: The Child of Christmas is God. http://bit.ly/1IY2w07

Grace to You... John MacArthur’s in-depth Bible teaching brings the life-transforming truth of God’s Word to millions of people every day.
