Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Evening Devotional For Friday June 22, 2018 |
Evening Time: 8:06 PM PST
"That those things which cannot be shaken may remain." --Hebrews 12:27
We have many things in our possession at the present moment which can be
shaken, and it ill becomes a Christian man to set much store by them, for there
is nothing stable beneath these rolling skies; change is written upon all
things. Yet, we have certain "things which cannot be shaken," and I
invite you this evening to think of them, that if the things which can be shaken
should all be taken away, you may derive real comfort from the things that
cannot be shaken, which will remain. Whatever your losses have been, or may be,
you enjoy present salvation. You are standing at the foot of His cross, trusting
alone in the merit of Jesus' precious blood, and no rise or fall of the markets
can interfere with your salvation in Him; no breaking of banks, no failures and
bankruptcies can touch that. Then you are a child of God this evening.
God is your Father. No change of circumstances can ever rob you of that.
Although by losses brought to poverty, and stripped bare, you can say, "He is my
Father still. In my Father's house are many mansions; therefore will I not be
troubled." You have another permanent blessing, namely, the love of Jesus
Christ. He who is God and Man loves you with all the strength of His
affectionate nature--nothing can affect that. The fig tree may not blossom, and
the flocks may cease from the field, it matters not to the man who can sing, "My
Beloved is mine, and I am His." Our best portion and richest heritage we cannot
lose. Whatever troubles come, let us play the man; let us show that we are not
such little children as to be cast down by what may happen in this poor fleeting
state of time. Our country is Immanuel's land, our hope is above the sky, and
therefore, calm as the summer's ocean; we will see the wreck of everything
earthborn, and yet rejoice in the God of our salvation.
