C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional
Monday May 19, 2025

"I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth."-Ecclesiastes 10:7
    
    Upstarts frequently usurp the highest places, while the truly great pine in obscurity. This is a riddle in providence whose solution will one day gladden the hearts of the upright; but it is so common a fact, that none of us should murmur if it should fall to our own lot. When our Lord was upon earth, although He is the Prince of the kings of the earth, yet He walked the footpath of weariness and service as the Servant of servants: what wonder is it if His followers, who are princes of the blood, should also be looked down upon as inferior and contemptible persons? The world is upside down, and therefore, the first are last and the last first. See how the servile sons of Satan lord it in the earth! What a high horse they ride! How they lift up their horn on high! Haman is in the court, while Mordecai sits in the gate; David wanders on the mountains, while Saul reigns in state; Elijah is complaining in the cave while Jezebel is boasting in the palace; yet who would wish to take the places of the proud rebels? and who, on the other hand, might not envy the despised saints? When the wheel turns, those who are lowest rise, and the highest sink. Patience, then, believer, eternity will right the wrongs of time.
    
    Let us not fall into the error of letting our passions and carnal appetites ride in triumph, while our nobler powers walk in the dust. Grace must reign as a prince, and make the members of the body instruments of righteousness. The Holy Spirit loves order, and He therefore sets our powers and faculties in due rank and place, giving the highest room to those spiritual faculties which link us with the great King; let us not disturb the divine arrangement, but ask for grace that we may keep under our body and bring it into subjection. We were not new created to allow our passions to rule over us, but that we, as kings, may reign in Christ Jesus over the triple kingdom of spirit, soul, and body, to the glory of God the Father.

pull-apart pizza


My girls love this pull-apart pizza. You may eat it with your fingers; however, it is pretty messy that way. But it is oh, so yummy!


Ingredients:

2 - cans of biscuits (10 count tubes)
1 - can of pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce (26 oz. can) Note: we don't use the whole can, but we like saucy.
toppings of your choice:
we use pepperoni and Canadian bacon
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (my girls like adding cheddar cheese too for making it colorful)

Sorry I don't have a picture of them putting it together. This picture is after it is all together before putting it in the oven.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray 9 x 13 inch pan.
Cut biscuits into 4's and drop randomly and evenly over the bottom of the pan. Some overlapping and layering is ok.
top with sauce. As much as you like, we like saucy. However, we don't use the whole 26 oz. can of sauce. maybe about 20 oz. Add cheese and toppings. You are now ready to put in the oven. Bake 20 to 30 minutes cheese golden and biscuits cooked.


Remove from oven cut and Enjoy. It disappears as quick as it is made. It is very easy to pull-apart into bite size pieces.
