Morning & Evening

One of my wonderful gifts this Christmas from my parents was Charles Spurgeon's book Morning and Evening. As I was reading it tonight, one part stood out, which I would love to share with you.

January 6 - Evening
"That glorious right hand that molded the world can renew my mind; the unwearied hand that bears the earth's huge pillars can sustain my spirit; the loving hand that encloses all the saints can cherish me; and the mighty hand that breaks in pieces the enemy can subdue my sins. Why should I not feel that hand touching me this evening? Come, my soul, address God with the potent plea that Jesus' hands were pierced for your redemption, and you shall surely feel that same hand upon you that once touched Daniel and set him upon his knees that he might see visions of God."

Isn't that a crazy thought? Just think about that. The same God who created the heavens and the earth cares for me! He cares for you! The very God that walked with Adam and Eve in the garden, cares for you! The very God that flooded the whole earth, cares for you! The very God that holds the universe in His hands cares for you! What an amazing thought!
"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows." (Luke 12:6-7)
If He cares for the sparrows of the sky, why should He not care for you? Like one of my favorite Sovereign Grace songs says, "Yesterday, today and forever, You are the same, You never change." And how true that is!!! And even though you may feel beat down, and that no one cares for you, I've been there too... and the truth is, someone does care for you. And even though it doesn't look like good to you, most of the time He's trying to teach us something. Scratch that... He is always teaching us something. Persevere! You are doing better than you deserve!
