Care in time of Need

From Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Afflictions, But No Broken Bones December 19 He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken. (Psalm 34:20) This promise by the context is referred to the much afflicted righteous man: "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all." He may suffer skin wounds and flesh wounds, but no great harm shall be done; "not a bone of him shall be broken." This is great comfort to a tried child of God, and comfort which I dare accept; for up to this hour I have suffered no real damage from my many afflictions. I have neither lost faith, nor hope, nor love. Nay so far from losing these bones of character, they have gained in strength and energy. I have more knowledge, more experience, more patience, more stability than I had before the trials came. Not even my joy has been destroyed. Many a bruise have I had by sickness, bereavement, depression, slander, and opposition; but the bruise has healed, and there has been no compound fracture of a bone, not even a simple one. The reason is not far to seek. If we trust in the Lord, He keeps all our bones; and if He keeps them, we may be sure that not one of them is broken. Come, my heart, do not sorrow. Thou art smarting, but there are no bones broken. Endure hardness and bid defiance to fear. From the Faith's Checkbook Mobile Devotional Android app - http://www.LookingUpwardApps.com/fcb

Fellowship

From Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Nearest and Dearest Fellowship December 17 So shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:17) While we are here the Lord is with us, and when we are called away we are with Him. There is no dividing the saint from His Savior. They are one, and they always must be one: Jesus cannot be without His own people, for He would be a Head without a body. Whether caught up into the air, or resting in paradise, or sojourning here, we are with Jesus; and who shall separate us from Him? What a joy is this! Our supreme honor, rest, comfort, delight, is to be with the Lord. We cannot conceive of anything which can surpass or even equal this divine society. By holy fellowship we must be with Him in His humiliation, rejection, and travail, and then we shall be with Him in His glory. Before long we shall be with Him in His rest and in His royalty, in His expectation and in His manifestation. We shall fare as He fares and triumph as He triumphs. O my Lord, if I am to be forever with Thee, I have a destiny incomparable. I will not envy an archangel. To be forever with the Lord is my idea of heaven at its best. Not the harps of gold, nor the crowns unfading, nor the light unclouded is glory to me; but Jesus, Jesus Himself, and myself forever with Him in nearest and dearest fellowship.

FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

From Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" God Is in the Front Line November 30 The Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. (Deuteronomy 31:8) In the presence of a great work or a great warfare, here is a text which should help us to buckle on our harness. If Jehovah Himself goes before us, it must be safe to follow. Who can obstruct our progress if the Lord Himself is in the van? Come, brother soldiers, let us make a prompt advance! Why do we hesitate to pass on to victory? Nor is the Lord before us only; He is with us. Above, beneath, around, within is the omnipotent, omnipresent One. In all time, even to eternity, He will be with us even as He has been. How this should nerve our arm! Dash at it boldly, ye soldiers of the cross, for the Lord of hosts is with us! Being before us and with us, He will never withdraw His help. He cannot fail in Himself, and He will not fail toward us. He will continue to help us according to our need, even to the end. As He cannot fail us, so He will not forsake us. He will always be both able and willing to grant us strength and succor till fighting days are gone. Let us not fear nor be dismayed; for the Lord of hosts will go down to the battle with us, will bear the brunt of the fight, and give us the victory.

Life is Not About Things

Look up!

From Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" The Outward, Upward Look November 21 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else. (Isaiah 45:22) This is a promise of promises. It lies at the foundation of our spiritual life. Salvation comes through a look at Him who is "a just God and a Saviour." How simple is the direction! "Look unto me." How reasonable is the requirement! Surely the creature should look to the Creator. We have looked elsewhere long enough; it is time that we look alone to Him who invites our expectation and promises to give us His salvation. Only a look! Will we not look at once? We are to bring nothing in ourselves but to look outward and upward to our Lord on His throne, whither He has gone up from the cross. A look requires no preparation, no violent effort: it needs neither wit nor wisdom, wealth nor strength. All that we need is in the Lord our God, and if we look to Him for everything, that everything shall be ours, and we shall be saved. Come, far-off ones, look hither! Ye ends of the earth, turn your eyes this way! As from the furthest regions men may see the sun and enjoy his light, so you who lie in death's borders at the very gates of hell may by a look receive the light of God, the life of heaven, the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is God and therefore able to save.

Please People!!!!

I just read an interesting article from Fox News. It seems Kim Kardashian received some back lash from followers concerning some Pro-Israel tweets in support of the Jewish Nation. After the back lash started she quickly removed the tweet and was Pro-Palestine. That tweet was removed totally from her sight and then she recanted by saying she is praying for all people involved in the conflict.

The only problem I have with this is.....IS STICK BY YOUR GUNS!!! Come on people!!! We live in a free country where we are able to say what we want, when we want, and where we want. There is no reason on earth she should have received so much heat for making an honest statement and she should not have apologized for speaking what she felt.

Do I agree with what is going on in Israel right now? NO! Do I favor Israel over Palestine? YES! Now granted Hamas is not helping the Palestine nation whatsoever. Their philosophy is to simply destroy the Jewish nation and totally eradicate them from the face of this earth. So explain to me again how that makes them right and Israel is wrong? Israel is simply defending themselves and Hamas is launching rockets straight into the heart of Jerusalem?????? I will stand by Israel and pray that it's people are protected and victorious in defense of it's beliefs and it's survival.

I will promise you one thing about this blog....I will say what I want, when I want, and where I want and I will present it with a Christian perspective. If you have a problem with the Christian faith and the word of God this may not be the blog for you. I will not apologize for my faith in God nor my viewpoints on current events. This is my first initial post on this blog. Stay tuned!!! More to come!!!!
