C.H. Spurgeon's Evening Devotional
Friday August 29, 2025

"All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk."-Numbers 6:4
    
    Nazarites had taken, among other vows, one which debarred them from the use of wine. In order that they might not violate the obligation, they were forbidden to drink the vinegar of wine or strong liquors, and to make the rule still more clear, they were not to touch the unfermented juice of grapes, nor even to eat the fruit either fresh or dried. In order, altogether, to secure the integrity of the vow, they were not even allowed anything that had to do with the vine; they were, in fact, to avoid the appearance of evil. Surely this is a lesson to the Lord's separated ones, teaching them to come away from sin in every form, to avoid not merely its grosser shapes, but even its spirit and similitude. Strict walking is much despised in these days, but rest assured, dear reader, it is both the safest and the happiest. He who yields a point or two to the world is in fearful peril; he who eats the grapes of Sodom will soon drink the wine of Gomorrah. A little crevice in the sea-bank in Holland lets in the sea, and the gap speedily swells till a province is drowned. Worldly conformity, in any degree, is a snare to the soul, and makes it more and more liable to presumptuous sins. Moreover, as the Nazarite who drank grape juice could not be quite sure whether it might not have endured a degree of fermentation, and consequently could not be clear in heart that his vow was intact, so the yielding, temporizing Christian cannot wear a conscience void of offence, but must feel that the inward monitor is in doubt of him. Things doubtful we need not doubt about; they are wrong to us. Things tempting we must not dally with, but flee from them with speed. Better be sneered at as a Puritan than be despised as a hypocrite. Careful walking may involve much self-denial, but it has pleasures of its own which are more than a sufficient recompense.

Soul Stirrings: Inspirational Message with God On Your Side is available at Amazon.

I have to say I was very leery to take on this book for review. But I have totally been enjoying Anita Hacklye Lambert's book Soul Stirrings: Inspirational Message with God on Your Side. The devotionals in this book are geared toward the Christian seeking to find God's will and then act upon your findings with intention. I have my book all marked up, highlighted with personal notes as well. 
 
My favorite chapter so far has been chapter 9: Consistent Intentions: Living with Purpose and Determination. Proverbs 4:26 "Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established." Aligning our intentions with God's will, seeking His guidance and committing to living as His Word commands us to. 
 
I also loved the lay out of each chapter. It is easy to read, each paragraph has a space between the previous paragraph. The author doesn't use big words that I would have to look up and find out what she meant by that. I can tell she writes from her heart.   
 
I love, love, love the fact that Lambert uses the KJV Bible to quote her scriptures. With other devotionals, I have to have my Bible on hand and look up the scriptures because I want to see what the KJV says, that is my chosen Bible version. It isn't easy to find a devotional that uses the KJV. This was the main reason for me being leery to review this book. However, I'm so glad I did accept the review spot. Lambert backs her thoughts up with much scripture which is also a big plus. It isn't just what she thinks, but what God says in His Word. This book has gone above my expectations for stirring my soul.  This is definitely a devotional that will be added to my library shelf and I just might have to check into the other two books.


Book Excerpt

Have you ever stood in the silence of your soul, staring into the abyss of unanswered questions? Have you ever whispered into the darkness, Why, Lord? —only to be met with silence? Life often presents us with trials that shake our foundation, moments that leave us bewildered and searching for meaning. We grapple with the weight of adversity, the sting of suffering, and the seemingly relentless storm clouds that overshadow our joy.

The human heart longs for understanding. It seeks reasons, explanations, and clarity. Yet, there are moments in life when the answers we crave remain just beyond our grasp. In these moments, we are left with a choice: Will we succumb to the gnawing doubts that seek to unravel our faith, or will we surrender to the wisdom of the Almighty, trusting that His unseen hand is guiding us through even the darkest valleys?

Faith calls us to trust in a God whose perspective far exceeds our own. Instead of demanding explanations, we are invited to rest in the assurance that He is working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). In the face of trials, our posture should be one of surrender—choosing trust over comprehension, faith over fear, and confidence in divine wisdom over reliance on our own limited understanding. 

When we wonder why, we do not necessarily require answers but rather an unwavering faith in the divine wisdom that guides our journey. We are prompted to shift our focus from pursuing answers to pursuing wisdom. Unlike mere answers, wisdom offers us greater insight into life's complexities. It equips us to navigate the storms with grace and resilience, aware that even within the darkest nights, a glimmer of light beckons us homeward.
