  • Most of these women mentioned in this piece have not done anything to warrant any attention, but I will give the columnist credit, who is a woman by the way, for taking a stand against immodesty and for raising her daughter to follow a path of modesty. The only place for a woman to be immodest is within the four walls of her home and around her husband. He is the only man whose attention she needs. She does not need the attention of any other.

  • If the businessman was offended by his Pastor’s admonition that he shouldn’t spend his life acquiring as much money as he can so that he can retire and play golf instead of using his life and resources in the service of the Kingdom of God, it is because he was consumed with the things of this life and the pleasures of this present world instead of the things of God.

    The Jeffrey Epsteins in Your Community – Exposing the “LEGAL” Child Trafficking Ring in the U.S. that is Worse than Epstein’s Crimes
    Round 1 of the fight over releasing the Epstein files is now over, as President Trump signed the bill that sailed through Congress today. It was a huge victory for the survivors of Epstein's crimes, as they now vow to take up the battle and start sharing their stories and exposing who these rich and powerful men are in Epstein's network who sexually abused and trafficked them when they were children. It was a huge victory for the four members of the GOP in the House (3 of them women) that dared to stand up to Trump's intimidations and threats that allowed these survivors to go public. It was certainly not a total victory, however, as the Trump Administration carefully orchestrated how to respond to overwhelming public demand to release the files by changing their strategy and all agreeing to support the Bill, including Trump himself, and thereby avoiding an embarrassing vote on the Bill which could have potentially signaled who is too afraid of being exposed by the files. Only one member of the House voted against it, and the Senate passed it "as is" without even voting on it. This preserved the language in the Bill that Mike Johnson and others stated needed to be amended, probably the language that made it a criminal offense for participating in delaying the release of the files. So this battle is over now, and the next one begins, because nobody really believes that they are actually going to release documents or videos that would implicate the rich and powerful, at least not on the Republican side and not Trump. The current administration may try to use this against their Democratic foes, as there is a current "investigation" going on with the Clintons and others, but I doubt that will go anywhere, because they can then just turn around and do the same thing against Republicans. We should NOT expect our federal government, no matter who is in power, to tell us the truth about the vast Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking network, anymore than we can trust them to tell the truth on other things such as the John F. Kennedy assassination, 911, the COVID hoax and mass murders through the COVID-19 shots, and many other issues. But make no mistake here, this IS a victory, because now it gives victims and survivors of child sex abuse a much better environment to go public with their stories. So now it is time to focus on something much larger and much more evil than the Epstein child sex trafficking network, and that is the current child trafficking network that is far larger, and is "legal" in every state in the U.S. - The Foster Care and Adoption networks that your tax dollars fund, allowing child traffickers to exist in every single community within the U.S., legally.

  • Christian, do you recall the story of Jacob? Having met Rachel at the well, Jacob served her father Laban in order to win her hand. He sacrificed sleep and comfort in that time, but eventually had his wife.

    Did not Jesus sacrifice more to win His bride, the Church? Jesus, though sinless, having fulfilled the law perfectly, suffered humiliation, brutal beatings, and rather than sleep or comfort, though He often sacrificed these, He sacrificed Himself. As He stated, “the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mk. 10:45).

    Brethren, let us marvel at this miracle of miracles, and not take it for granted. God paid for our sins, just as He provided the ram for Abraham that Isaac was not sacrificed (Gen. 22:8-13), providing His own Son, a spotless Lamb, that we need not be sacrificed (1 Pet. 1:19).

    Jesus toiled for us, traveling city to city, preaching the gospel and God’s kingdom, that those He called would believe through the sacrifice He was preparing. Then at the appointed time, He went to the cross, neither reviling in return those who reviled Him, nor uttering threats; but He entrusted Himself to His Father, and bore our sins on the cross so that we might die to sin and life to righteousness (1 Pet. 2:21-25).

    Let us ever remember this sacrifice which cancelled our debt and led to the forgiveness of our transgressions (Col. 2:13-15), and live our lives as those who are dead to sin but alive to God (Rom. 6:11).

    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Morning, November 22

    "Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep." Hosea 12:12

    Jacob, while expostulating with Laban, thus describes his own toil, "This twenty years have I been with thee. That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee: I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes." Even more toilsome than this was the life of our Saviour here below. He watched over all His sheep till He gave in as His last account, "Of all those whom Thou hast given me I have lost none." His hair was wet with dew, and His locks with the drops of the night. Sleep departed from His eyes, for all night He was in prayer wrestling for His people. One night Peter must be pleaded for; anon, another claims His tearful intercession. No shepherd sitting beneath the cold skies, looking up to the stars, could ever utter such complaints because of the hardness of his toil as Jesus Christ might have brought, if He had chosen to do so, because of the sternness of His service in order to procure His spouse:

    Cold mountains and the midnight air,
    Witnessed the fervour of His prayer;
    The desert His temptations knew,
    His conflict and His victory too.

    It is sweet to dwell upon the spiritual parallel of Laban having required all the sheep at Jacob's hand. If they were torn of beasts, Jacob must make it good; if any of them died, he must stand as surety for the whole. Was not the toil of Jesus for His Church the toil of one who was under suretiship obligations to bring every believing one safe to the hand of Him who had committed them to His charge? Look upon toiling Jacob, and you see a representation of Him of whom we read, "He shall feed His flock like a shepherd."

  • Christian, just as Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He has similarly raised us. No, we have not yet died and been resurrected, but we were dead in our trespasses and sins when God made us alive together with Christ (Eph. 2:1,5).

    Later, several days before his last Passover, Jesus entered Lazarus’ house to dine with Lazarus and his sisters. While one sister served and the other anointed Jesus’ feet, Lazarus sat at the table and dined with Jesus (Jn. 12:2).

    Brethren, do you realize that Jesus wants the same from you? Do you believe you have all you require, that you are rich and in need of nothing as did those in Laodicea (Rev. 3:17)? Take honest stock of yourself. Come to Christ to purchase refined gold that you may be rich, and white robes that you may be clothed, and salve for your eyes that you may see (Rev. 3:18). For Jesus stands at the door knocking, waiting for you to hear his voice and open the door that He might come in and dine with you and you with Him (Rev. 3:20).

    Could there be a greater honor? A more blessed time? To sit with Jesus at the table and dine is reserved for those who are His. Do not be lukewarm (Rev. 3:16), and do not leave Jesus out in the cold. Open the door; dine with Him. Enjoy the blessing of sharing this blessed time with Him!

    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Evening, November 21

    "Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with Him." John 12:2

    He is to be envied. It was well to be Martha and serve, but better to be Lazarus and commune. There are times for each purpose, and each is comely in its season, but none of the trees of the garden yield such clusters as the vine of fellowship. To sit with Jesus, to hear His words, to mark His acts, and receive His smiles, was such a favour as must have made Lazarus as happy as the angels. When it has been our happy lot to feast with our Beloved in His banqueting-hall, we would not have given half a sigh for all the kingdoms of the world, if so much breath could have bought them.

    He is to be imitated. It would have been a strange thing if Lazarus had not been at the table where Jesus was, for he had been dead, and Jesus had raised him. For the risen one to be absent when the Lord who gave him life was at his house, would have been ungrateful indeed. We too were once dead, yea, and like Lazarus stinking in the grave of sin; Jesus raised us, and by His life we live- can we be content to live at a distance from Him? Do we omit to remember Him at His table, where He deigns to feast with His brethren? Oh, this is cruel! It behoves us to repent, and do as He has bidden us, for His least wish should be law to us. To have lived without constant intercourse with one of whom the Jews said, "Behold how He loved him," would have been disgraceful to Lazarus, is it excusable in us whom Jesus has loved with an everlasting love? To have been cold to Him who wept over his lifeless corpse, would have argued great brutishness in Lazarus. What does it argue in us over whom the Saviour has not only wept, but bled? Come, brethren, who read this portion, let us return unto our heavenly Bridegroom, and ask for His Spirit that we may be on terms of closer intimacy with Him, and henceforth sit at the table with Him.

  • The housing crisis is not something that can be solved by a 50 year mortgage. When that was suggested Trump is not going to be able to crack that nut. With our population diminishing, low birth rate, low paying service industry jobs home ownership is gone for the younger and future generations; except immigrants. Immigrants arrive in this country with big cash accounts. Where did the money come from.

  • I haven't read this yet. However I can say that she is correct. One thing I completely hated was when people said " it is for the best" "you have other Children" "the baby is in a better place than here" Or " your son is in a much better place". I let them know it. Another thing I can say is NEVER GO TO A DOCTOR OR NURSE OR BUSINESS FOR "SOMEONE THAT HAS LOST A CHILD(REN). YOU DON'T GRIEVE THROUGH A BOOK OR WHATEVER "PROFESSIONALS" TELL YOU. I joined with other parents that have lost a Child or Children. "the compassionate friends". The Best thing to do is, remain silent and let the grieving parent talk to you, having someone to listen, helped me, in a way.

    Rhian Mannings, a woman who lost her husband to suicide after the death of their one year old son, makes an excellent point about grief:

    Never tell anyone that you know how they feel, even if you have suffered the same or similar loss as they have and the reason why this might be is because even two people who have suffered the loss of children can be impacted differently; one may be impacted by the loss of their offspring more deeply than another who has been bereaved of their offspring and no two people navigate through their grief the exact same way and there could be a number of different reasons for that.

    One thing is for certain in that we do have to be careful what we say to someone who has suffered the loss of a loved and especially if they have suffered the loss of a child, even if we have suffered such losses ourselves.

    Grieving people can take offense to even those things said to the out of the best of intentions. It is hard to imagine how or why even those who have suffered loss would have to choose their words wisely when attempting to comfort and console someone else who has also suffered a similar loss, but this item definitely gives the reader something to think about, especially if they happen to know one who has experienced the loss of someone they held dear.

  • Brethren, what is the aim of our lives? Is it not to please and glorify our Creator? Do not all things exist for His glory?

    He purchased you with His own blood (Acts 20:28), and He sealed you with His Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 1:22; Eph. 1:13, 4:30). Now you are a temple of God, and His Spirit dwells within you (1 Cor. 34:16).

    Our lives, therefore, should evince the change wrought in us, the holiness that flows from God’s temple. We are no longer to walk in futility of mind, for we are no longer darkened in our understanding of(Eph. 4:17-18). We are not to be callous, as are the unsaved, nor given over to sensuality (Eph. 4:19).

    We must lay aside falsehood, speaking honestly with one another (Eph. 4:25). Anger must not lead us to sin, nor shall we allow anger to fester in our hearts (Eph. 4:26). Such behaviors as these give Satan opportunity in our lives (Eph. 4:27). We must rise above. He who once stole must steal no longer, but work honestly for that which he receives (Eph. 4:28). And our speech is to be tempered, not unwholesome, edifying those around us (Eph. 4:29).

    Let us put away any bitterness or anger we harbor, as well as any slander or malice (Eph. 4:31), for these do not please God nor do they aid in our sanctification; instead, these quench His Holy Spirit who lives in us (1 Thes. 5:19).

    So, let us not grieve the Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:30), but “be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven” us (Eph. 4:31).

    "Grieve not the Holy Spirit." Ephesians 4:30

    All that the believer has must come from Christ, but it comes solely through the channel of the Spirit of grace. Moreover, as all blessings thus flow to you through the Holy Spirit, so also no good thing can come out of you in holy thought, devout worship, or gracious act, apart from the sanctifying operation of the same Spirit. Even if the good seed be sown in you, yet it lies dormant except He worketh in you to will and to do of His own good pleasure. Do you desire to speak for Jesus- how can you unless the Holy Ghost touch your tongue? Do you desire to pray? Alas! what dull work it is unless the Spirit maketh intercession for you! Do you desire to subdue sin? Would you be holy? Would you imitate your Master? Do you desire to rise to superlative heights of spirituality? Are you wanting to be made like the angels of God, full of zeal and ardour for the Master's cause? You cannot without the Spirit- "Without me ye can do nothing." O branch of the vine, thou canst have no fruit without the sap! O child of God, thou hast no life within thee apart from the life which God gives thee through His Spirit! Then let us not grieve Him or provoke Him to anger by our sin. Let us not quench Him in one of His faintest motions in our soul; let us foster every suggestion, and be ready to obey every prompting. If the Holy Spirit be indeed so mighty, let us attempt nothing without Him; let us begin no project, and carry on no enterprise, and conclude no transaction, without imploring His blessing. Let us do Him the due homage of feeling our entire weakness apart from Him, and then depending alone upon Him, having this for our prayer, "Open Thou my heart and my whole being to Thine incoming, and uphold me with Thy free Spirit when I shall have received that Spirit in my inward parts."

He who once stole must steal no longer, but work honestly for that which he receives (Eph. 4:28). And our speech is to be tempered, not unwholesome, edifying those around us (Eph. 4:29). Let us put away any bitterness or anger we harbor, as well as any slander or malice (Eph. 4:31), for these do not please God nor do they aid in our sanctification; instead, these quench His Holy Spirit who lives in us (1 Thes. 5:19). So, let us not grieve the Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:30), but “be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven” us (Eph. 4:31). —————— Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions Morning, November 21 "Grieve not the Holy Spirit." Ephesians 4:30 All that the believer has must come from Christ, but it comes solely through the channel of the Spirit of grace. Moreover, as all blessings thus flow to you through the Holy Spirit, so also no good thing can come out of you in holy thought, devout worship, or gracious act, apart from the sanctifying operation of the same Spirit. Even if the good seed be sown in you, yet it lies dormant except He worketh in you to will and to do of His own good pleasure. Do you desire to speak for Jesus- how can you unless the Holy Ghost touch your tongue? Do you desire to pray? Alas! what dull work it is unless the Spirit maketh intercession for you! Do you desire to subdue sin? Would you be holy? Would you imitate your Master? Do you desire to rise to superlative heights of spirituality? Are you wanting to be made like the angels of God, full of zeal and ardour for the Master's cause? You cannot without the Spirit- "Without me ye can do nothing." O branch of the vine, thou canst have no fruit without the sap! O child of God, thou hast no life within thee apart from the life which God gives thee through His Spirit! Then let us not grieve Him or provoke Him to anger by our sin. Let us not quench Him in one of His faintest motions in our soul; let us foster every suggestion, and be ready to obey every prompting. If the Holy Spirit be indeed so mighty, let us attempt nothing without Him; let us begin no project, and carry on no enterprise, and conclude no transaction, without imploring His blessing. Let us do Him the due homage of feeling our entire weakness apart from Him, and then depending alone upon Him, having this for our prayer, "Open Thou my heart and my whole being to Thine incoming, and uphold me with Thy free Spirit when I shall have received that Spirit in my inward parts."

  • Rise With Me, Little Blossoms

    Wake now, little blossoms,
    I feel you dreaming beneath the soil.
    The moon has climbed her silver path,
    And she is calling your names softly
    as softly as my grandmother once called mine.

    Stretch your colors toward the night.
    Let your petals remember their stories.
    Mother Earth is waiting to wear your beauty,
    to feel your songs rising
    like warm breath against her skin.

    Do not fear the darkness
    I walk with you, child-flowers,
    and the spirits walk with me.
    Together, we will scatter light
    across these quiet fields
    until even the stars lean closer.

    Come now, awaken.
    Bloom with me in this sacred hour.
    Let us shine together beneath the full moon.
    You in your radiant colors,
    and I in the grace of the ancestors
    so the world may know
    That beauty still chooses to live.

  • Mark
    Chapter 4

    1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

    2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

    3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

    4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

    5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

    6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

    7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

    8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

    9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

    10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

    11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

    12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

    13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

    14 The sower soweth the word.

    15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

    16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

    17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

    18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

    19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

    20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

    21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

    22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

    23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

    24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

    25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

    26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

    27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

    28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

    29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

    30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

    31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

    32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

    33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

    34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

    35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

    36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

    37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

    38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

    39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

    40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

    41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

    This is not Justice - it is Political Lawfare!

    "The foundations of the Carroll verdict would shock any American who still believes in the presumption of innocence. Trump’s legal team lays out the facts—or rather, the complete absence of them: no DNA, no eyewitnesses, no video footage, no police report, and no investigation of any kind. The alleged incident supposedly occurred in a department store dressing room in the 1990s. Think about that for a second—thirty years, and not one receipt, security tape, or person who saw anything?"

    "Graphene-based nanomaterials are being paired with common over-the-counter drugs like ibuprofen. "Innovations" like these are becoming increasingly important in the era of biodigital convergence, where medicine, advanced materials, and digital technologies are rapidly merging the physical and digital world..
    This paper states that graphene oxide and its modified forms are being explored as smart drug-delivery carriers for ibuprofen because their ultra-thin, high-surface-area sheets can hold large amounts of the drug and release it in a controlled way inside the body. Their surfaces contain oxygen-based chemical groups that make them water-dispersible and allow ibuprofen to attach either between the layers or along the sheet edges through hydrophobic and π–π interactions. According to the authors this lets graphene oxide protect ibuprofen as it passes through the harsh, acidic environment of the stomach—where the drug normally causes irritation—and then release much more of it later in the intestine, where absorption happens. By tuning the surface chemistry of graphene (such as adding sulfonic or carboxyl groups), researchers can control how tightly ibuprofen binds and how quickly it is released, making graphene-based nanomaterials promising candidates for "safer," more efficient ibuprofen delivery.

    Comparative Study of Various Graphene Oxide Structures as Efficient Drug Release Systems for Ibuprofen
    Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug that is widely prescribed for its analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory actions to treat pain, symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and fever, but it is also known to cause stomach-related side effects. The development of efficient drug delivery systems for this compound to prevent these side effects is hampered by its poor water solubility. In this work, we show that graphite oxide and its derivatives have great potential as effective drug delivery systems not only to overcome side effects but also to increase the short biological half-life of ibuprofen. We studied the adsorption capacity of graphite oxide and carboxylated and sulfonated graphene oxide for this drug and its release in simulated gastric and intestinal fluid. The obtained compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. DFT calculations were conducted to elucidate the Ibuprofen/host interactions, to establish which properties of these carbon nanomaterials control the loading and release, as well as to provide a better understanding of the orientation of the drug molecules on the single-layer GO.

    CHAPTER 3 VERSES 18 -35

    18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

    19 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.

    20 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

    21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

    22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

    23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

    24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

    25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

    26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

    27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

    28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

    29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

    30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

    31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

    32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

    33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

    34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

    35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

  • Psalm 94 is so encouraging when the trolls and the TDS people post, or rant slander nonsense against our president. “The Lord is a G-d of retribution; O G-d of retribution, reveal Yourself! Judge of the earth, arise; render to the arrogant their recompense.” Yet Esau who rejected his birthright in the Covenant with G—d established by his ancestors, to be a servant and follower of our Beloved G-d did receive a blessing too. So how do we bless our enemies who do not understand a president like Trump returning law and order to our nation is a blessing? Ways to pray for their souls of course. Claim the end of the Satan’s hold on their minds to end, because that foe has been defeated already. Guard our own hearts and Trust the ONE in perfect Justice and Mercy to bring His retribution as a blessing.

  • Believer, when you feel you are in the deepest of pits, do you wallow in your misery, or do you cry out to the Lord? If you do not cry out, why do you not? The Lord hears our voice when we call to Him (Lam. 3:56). He does not close His ear to us. When we draw near to Him, He draws near to us (Jas. 4:8). Why then withdraw in the lowest of times, when you need Him most?

    Remember, we have an advocate with the Father (1 Jn. 2:1). He is our mediator (1 Tim. 2:5). He is at the right hand of God interceding for us (Rom. 8:34). Who then can condemn us?

    Do not fret, beloved brethren, for no matter how far from God we may feel, He has promised never to leave nor forsake us (Heb. 13:5), and Jesus promised He would always be with us (Mt. 28:20).

    Therefore, let no adversity shake your faith nor drag you down. Instead, shout, “Hallelujah!”, because we have a Lord who lives, Who has redeemed us, Who has pleaded the cause of our soul (Lam. 3:58).

    ——————
    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Morning, November 20

    "0 Lord, Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul." Lamentations 3:58

    Observe how positively the prophet speaks. He doth not say, "I hope, I trust, I sometimes think, that God hath pleaded the causes of my soul"; but he speaks of it as a matter of fact not to be disputed. "Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul." Let us, by the aid of the gracious Comforter, shake off those doubts and fears which so much mar our peace and comfort. Be this our prayer, that we may have done with the harsh croaking voice of surmise and suspicion, and may be able to speak with the clear, melodious voice of full assurance. Notice how gratefully the prophet speaks, ascribing all the glory to God alone! You perceive there is not a word concerning himself or his own pleadings. He doth not ascribe his deliverance in any measure to any man, much less to his own merit; but it is "thou"- "O Lord, Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; Thou hast redeemed my life." A grateful spirit should ever be cultivated by the Christian; and especially after deliverances we should prepare a song for our God. Earth should be a temple filled with the songs of grateful saints, and every day should be a censor smoking with the sweet incense of thanksgiving. How joyful Jeremiah seems to be while he records the Lord's mercy. How triumphantly he lifts up the strain! He has been in the low dungeon, and is even now no other than the weeping prophet; and yet in the very book which is called "Lamentations," clear as the song of Miriam when she dashed her fingers against the tabor, shrill as the note of Deborah when she met Barak with shouts of victory, we hear the voice of Jeremy going up to heaven- "Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life." O children of God, seek after a vital experience of the Lord's lovingkindness, and when you have it, speak positively of it; sing gratefully; shout triumphantly.
    Believer, when you feel you are in the deepest of pits, do you wallow in your misery, or do you cry out to the Lord? If you do not cry out, why do you not? The Lord hears our voice when we call to Him (Lam. 3:56). He does not close His ear to us. When we draw near to Him, He draws near to us (Jas. 4:8). Why then withdraw in the lowest of times, when you need Him most? Remember, we have an advocate with the Father (1 Jn. 2:1). He is our mediator (1 Tim. 2:5). He is at the right hand of God interceding for us (Rom. 8:34). Who then can condemn us? Do not fret, beloved brethren, for no matter how far from God we may feel, He has promised never to leave nor forsake us (Heb. 13:5), and Jesus promised He would always be with us (Mt. 28:20). Therefore, let no adversity shake your faith nor drag you down. Instead, shout, “Hallelujah!”, because we have a Lord who lives, Who has redeemed us, Who has pleaded the cause of our soul (Lam. 3:58). —————— Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions Morning, November 20 "0 Lord, Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul." Lamentations 3:58 Observe how positively the prophet speaks. He doth not say, "I hope, I trust, I sometimes think, that God hath pleaded the causes of my soul"; but he speaks of it as a matter of fact not to be disputed. "Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul." Let us, by the aid of the gracious Comforter, shake off those doubts and fears which so much mar our peace and comfort.
