Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Evening Devotional For Saturday April 29, 2017 |
Evening Time: 10:47 PM PST
"The Lord taketh pleasure in His people." --Psalm 149:4
How comprehensive is the love of Jesus! There is no part of His people's
interests which He does not consider, and there is nothing which concerns their
welfare which is not important to Him. Not merely does He think of you,
believer, as an immortal being, but as a mortal being too. Do not deny it or
doubt it: "The very hairs of your head are all numbered." "The steps of a good
man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in His way" It were a sad thing
for us if this mantle of love did not cover all our concerns, for what mischief
might be wrought to us in that part of our business which did not come under our
gracious Lord's inspection! Believer, rest assured that the heart of Jesus cares
about your meaner affairs. The breadth of His tender love is such that you may
resort to Him in all matters; for in all your afflictions He is afflicted, and
like as a father pitieth his children, so doth He pity you. The meanest
interests of all His saints are all borne upon the broad bosom of the Son of
God. Oh, what a heart is His, that doth not merely comprehend the persons of His
people, but comprehends also the diverse and innumerable concerns of all those
persons! Dost thou think, O Christian, that thou canst measure the love of
Christ? Think of what His love has brought thee--justification, adoption,
sanctification, eternal life! The riches of His goodness are unsearchable; thou
shalt never be able to tell them out or even conceive them. Oh, the breadth of
the love of Christ! Shall such a love as this have half our hearts? Shall it
have a cold love in return? Shall Jesus' marvellous lovingkindness and tender
care meet with but faint response and tardy acknowledgment? O my soul, tune thy
harp to a glad song of thanksgiving! Go to thy rest rejoicing, for thou art no
desolate wanderer, but a beloved child, watched over, cared for, supplied, and
defended by thy Lord.
