i'm subscribed to the daily spurgeon and let me tell you, it's amazing.
almost every day i get an email with a quote from morning & evening or one of spurgeon's other works.
the one i got yesterday met me RIGHT. exactly. where i was. like totally.
praise the Lord that he knows what we are going through at every single moment.
even when we haven't told others about what struggles we're facing (which is a huge help by the way. so do it!)... he still knows.
and let's face it... even when we haven't been praying for his help in a particular area, but we've been having a hard time...
he still knows. and he reveals truth to us.
"Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words." -Romans 8:28
wow.
even through my guilty feelings & lack of prayer, he is drawing me to him!!
how great, how awesome, how unlike this world is our God!
here's the quote...
O you who feel your unworthiness this morning, who have been seeking salvation earnestly, and suffering the weight of sin, Jesus will freely give to you what you cannot earn or purchase, he will give it as an act of his own free, rich, sovereign mercy; and he is prepared, if you come to him, to give it to you now, for so has he promised, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
and when we are painfully aware of our sin, this is actually a good thing.
before the Holy Spirit gave us this awareness, we would have dismissed our sin as no big deal.
Christ is working in us!
we needn't be discouraged, because our hope is not in ourselves! which is awesome. for me at least! :)
and i would suggest that everyone subscribe to the daily spurgeon.
you can do that by clicking "subscribe by email" on the right panel (duh!).
