Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Evening Devotional For Wednesday November 20, 2019 |
Evening Time: 8:42 PM PST
"The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks."
--Proverbs 30:26
Conscious of their own natural defenselessness, the conies resort to burrows
in the rocks, and are secure from their enemies. My heart, be willing to gather
a lesson from these feeble folk. Thou art as weak and as exposed to peril as the
timid cony, be as wise to seek a shelter. My best security is within the
munitions of an immutable Jehovah, where His unalterable promises stand like
giant walls of rock. It will be well with thee, my heart, if thou canst always
hide thyself in the bulwarks of His glorious attributes, all of which are
guarantees of safety for those who put their trust in Him. Blessed be the name
of the Lord, I have so done, and have found myself like David in Adullam, safe
from the cruelty of my enemy; I have not now to find out the blessedness of the
man who puts his trust in the Lord, for long ago, when Satan and my sins pursued
me, I fled to the cleft of the rock Christ Jesus, and in His riven side I found
a delightful resting-place. My heart, run to Him anew to-night, whatever thy
present grief may be; Jesus feels for thee; Jesus consoles thee; Jesus will help
thee. No monarch in his impregnable fortress is more secure than the cony in his
rocky burrow. The master of ten thousand chariots is not one whit better
protected than the little dweller in the mountain's cleft. In Jesus the weak are
strong, and the defenceless safe; they could not be more strong if they were
giants, or more safe if they were in heaven. Faith gives to men on earth the
protection of the God of heaven. More they cannot need, and need not wish. The
conies cannot build a castle, but they avail themselves of what is there
already: I cannot make myself a refuge, but Jesus has provided it, His Father
has given it, His Spirit has revealed it, and lo, again to-night I enter it, and
am safe from every foe.
