Charles Spurgeon-A sense of pardoned sin.

A sense of pardoned sin

“Thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.” 
Isaiah 38:17

Suggested Further Reading:
 Psalm 32

We are saved by faith, and not by feeling.
 “We walk by faith and not by sight.” 
Yet there is as much connection between faith and hallowed feeling, as there is between the root and the flower. 

Faith is permanent, just as the root is ever in the ground; feeling is casual, and has its seasons. Just as the bulb does not always shoot up the green stem; far less is it always crowned with the many, many-coloured flower. 

Faith is the tree, the essential tree; our feelings are like the appearance of that tree during the different seasons of the year. Sometimes our soul is full of bloom and blossom, and the bees hum pleasantly, and gather honey within our hearts. 

It is then that our feelings bear witness to the life of our faith, just as the buds of spring bear witness to the life of the tree. Presently, our feelings gather still greater vigour, and we come to the summer of our delights. 

Again, perhaps, we begin to wither into the dry and yellow leaf of autumn; nay, sometimes the winter of our despondency and despair will strip away every leaf from the tree, and our poor faith stands like a blasted stem without a sign of greenness. 

And yet, my brethren, so long as the tree of faith is there we are saved. Whether faith blossom or not, whether it bring forth joyous fruit in our experience or not, so long as it be there in all its permanence we are saved. 

Yet we should have the gravest reason to distrust the life of our faith, if it did not sometimes blossom with joy, and often bring forth fruit unto holiness.

For meditation:

 True joy cannot exist without saving faith (1 Peter 1:8-9),
 but sometimes our salvation needs to have its joy restored (Psalm 51:12).

Charles Spurgeon-"Thou art My servant; I have chosen thee."

"Thou art My servant; I have chosen thee."

Isaiah 41:9.

If we have received the grace of God in our hearts, its practical effect has been to make us God's servants. We may be unfaithful servants, we certainly are unprofitable ones, but yet, blessed be His name, we are His servants, wearing His livery, feeding at His table, and obeying His commands. 

We were once the servants of sin, but He who made us free has now taken us into His family and taught us obedience to His will.

 We do not serve our Master perfectly, but we would if we could. 

As we hear God's voice saying unto us, "Thou art My servant," we can answer with David, "I am thy servant; Thou hast loosed my bonds." But the Lord calls us not only His servants, but His chosen ones—"I have chosen thee."

 We have not chosen Him first, but He hath chosen us. 

If we be God's servants, we were not always so; to sovereign grace the change must be ascribed. 

The eye of sovereignty singled us out, and the voice of unchanging grace declared, "I have loved thee with an everlasting love."

 Long ere time began or space was created God had written upon His heart the names of His elect people, had predestinated them to be conformed unto the image of His Son, and ordained them heirs of all the fulness of His love, His grace, and His glory. 

What comfort is here! Has the Lord loved us so long, and will He yet cast us away? He knew how stiffnecked we should be, He understood that our hearts were evil, and yet He made the choice. 

Ah! our Saviour is no fickle lover.

 He doth not feel enchanted for awhile with some gleams of beauty from His church's eye, and then afterwards cast her off because of her unfaithfulness. Nay, He married her in old eternity; and it is written of Jehovah, "He hateth putting away."

 The eternal choice is a bond upon our gratitude and upon His faithfulness which neither can disown.

Charles Spurgeon-The valley shall be filled with water.

"And he said, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches. 

For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; 

yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye and your cattle, 

and your beasts."—

2 Kings 3:16,17.

The armies of the three kings were famishing for want of water: God was about to send it, and in these words the prophet announced the coming blessing. 

Here was a case of human helplessness: not a drop of water could all the valiant men procure from the skies or find in the wells of earth. Thus often the people of the Lord are at their wits' end; they see the vanity of the creature, and learn experimentally where their help is to be found. 

Still the people were to make a believing preparation for the divine blessing; they were to dig the trenches in which the precious liquid would be held. 

The church must by her varied agencies, efforts, and prayers, make herself ready to be blessed; she must make the pools, and the Lord will fill them.

 This must be done in faith, in the full assurance that the blessing is about to descend. 

By-and-by there was a singular bestowal of the needed boon. 

Not as in Elijah's case did the shower pour from the clouds, but in a silent and mysterious manner the pools were filled. 

The Lord has His own sovereign modes of action: He is not tied to manner and time as we are, but doeth as He pleases among the sons of men. It is ours thankfully to receive from Him, and not to dictate to Him.

 We must also notice the remarkable abundance of the supply—there was enough for the need of all. And so it is in the gospel blessing; all the wants of the congregation and of the entire church shall be met by the divine power in answer to prayer; and above all this, victory shall be speedily given to the armies of the Lord.

What am I doing for Jesus? What trenches am I digging? O Lord, make me ready to receive the blessing which Thou art so willing to bestow.

Charles Spurgeon-"And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not."

"And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not." 

- Mark 15:23

A golden truth is couched in the fact that the Saviour put the myrrhed wine-cup from his lips. On the heights of heaven the Son of God stood of old, and as he looked down upon our globe he measured the long descent to the utmost depths of human misery; he cast up the sum total of all the agonies which expiation would require, and abated not a jot.

 He solemnly determined that to offer a sufficient atoning sacrifice he must go the whole way, from the highest to the lowest, from the throne of highest glory to the cross of deepest woe. This myrrhed cup, with its soporific influence, would have stayed him within a little of the utmost limit of misery, therefore he refused it.

He would not stop short of all he had undertaken to suffer for his people. Ah, how many of us have pined after reliefs to our grief which would have been injurious to us! Reader, did you never pray for a discharge from hard service or suffering with a petulant and wilful eagerness? Providence has taken from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke.

Say, Christian, if it had been said, "If you so desire it, that loved one of yours shall live, but God will be dishonoured," could you have put away the temptation, and said, "Thy will be done"? Oh, it is sweet to be able to say, "My Lord, if for other reasons I need not suffer, yet if I can honour thee more by suffering, and if the loss of my earthly all will bring thee glory, then so let it be.

I refuse the comfort, if it comes in the way of thine honour. " O that we thus walked more in the footsteps of our Lord, cheerfully enduring trial for his sake, promptly and willingly putting away the thought of self and comfort when it would interfere with our finishing the work which he has given us to do. Great grace is needed, but great grace is provided.
