Don't Miss Out On A Blessing
Why is it that God rescues some people from hell and not others? Honestly I don't know why some are and others are not, but I do know that it is to His glory that some are saved. Who are we to question God? He will have compassion on whom He will have compassion on and mercy on whom He will have mercy. It is His decision who He will save, my friends. Remember He is a good and gracious God. Praise, glory and honor due His name! As a saved individual you are a precious jewel to God and He chose to save you to be with Him one day in Heaven; do me a favor and pray for those who are not yet saved because they may be one day.
This is a GREAT devotion this morning from CH Spurgeon and worth sharing, I hope you enjoy it!
"I have chosen you out of the world."John 15:19
Here is distinguishing grace and discriminating regard; for some are made the special objects of divine affection. Do not be afraid to dwell upon this high doctrine of election. When your mind is most heavy and depressed, you will find it to be a bottle of richest cordial. Those who doubt the doctrines of grace, or who cast them into the shade, miss the richest clusters of Eshcol; they lose the wines on the lees well refined, the fat things full of marrow. There is no balm in Gilead comparable to it. If the honey in Jonathan's wood when but touched enlightened the eyes, this is honey which will enlighten your heart to love and learn the mysteries of the kingdom of God. Eat, and fear not a surfeit; live upon this choice dainty, and fear not that it will be too delicate a diet. Meat from the King's table will hurt none of His courtiers. Desire to have your mind enlarged, that you may comprehend more and more the eternal, everlasting, discriminating love of God. When you have mounted as high as election, tarry on its sister mount, the covenant of grace. Covenant engagements are the munitions of stupendous rock behind which we lie entrenched; covenant engagements with the surety, Christ Jesus, are the quiet resting-places of trembling spirits.
"His oath, His covenant, His blood,Support me in the raging flood;When every earthly prop gives way,This still is all my strength and stay."
If Jesus undertook to bring me to glory, and if the Father promised that He would give me to the Son to be a part of the infinite reward of the travail of His soul; then, my soul, till God Himself shall be unfaithful, till Jesus shall cease to be the truth, thou art safe. When David danced before the ark, he told Michal that election made him do so. Come, my soul, exult before the God of grace and leap for joy of heart.
