C.H. Spurgeon's Evening Devotional

"That those things which cannot be shaken may remain."-Hebrews 12:27
    
    We have many things in our possession at the present moment which can be shaken, and it ill becomes a Christian man to set much store by them, for there is nothing stable beneath these rolling skies; change is written upon all things. Yet, we have certain "things which cannot be shaken," and I invite you this evening to think of them, that if the things which can be shaken should all be taken away, you may derive real comfort from the things that cannot be shaken, which will remain. Whatever your losses have been, or may be, you enjoy present salvation. You are standing at the foot of His cross, trusting alone in the merit of Jesus' precious blood, and no rise or fall of the markets can interfere with your salvation in Him; no breaking of banks, no failures and bankruptcies can touch that. Then you are a child of God this evening. God is your Father. No change of circumstances can ever rob you of that. Although by losses brought to poverty, and stripped bare, you can say, "He is my Father still. In my Father's house are many mansions; therefore will I not be troubled." You have another permanent blessing, namely, the love of Jesus Christ. He who is God and Man loves you with all the strength of His affectionate nature-nothing can affect that. The fig tree may not blossom, and the flocks may cease from the field, it matters not to the man who can sing, "My Beloved is mine, and I am His." Our best portion and richest heritage we cannot lose. Whatever troubles come, let us play the man; let us show that we are not such little children as to be cast down by what may happen in this poor fleeting state of time. Our country is Immanuel's land, our hope is above the sky, and therefore, calm as the summer's ocean; we will see the wreck of everything earthborn, and yet rejoice in the God of our salvation.

Name that Beep



Have you ever noticed that all of today's modern technology beeps? It is so crazy anymore you have to know exactly what the beep means.
For instance:

Right now my dryer is running when it shuts off I will here a long several seconds beep. Bingo I better go get my clothes out of the dryer before they wrinkle. Since the dryer is in the basement if I'm not setting right at the basement door many times this deep does unnoticed.

Then there is the microwave, years ago it would just beep three times when the cycle was over. Now days, every time you push a button there is a beep.

OK OK the answering machine beeps if you use it to field your phone calls. You know what to do at the beep.

About two years ago my hubby got me a new stove/oven guess what it is digital. It too beeps with every push 0f the button and if you don't get it right it will beep to let you know that too. My daughter thought oh how cool. We refer to it as the oven is talking to us. I'm good at getting it to beep because I'm never telling it the right thing to do. Then when the oven is warmed up to temperature it will beep just once. And the timer that you set to remind you to check your cooking guess what. It beeps until you shut it off.

Back in july I got a new coffee maker for my birthday. Guess what???? Yep, when it is done with its brewing cycle it gives about five quick beeps. Now we are starting to get a little carried away.

I also received a waffle iron here in the last few months. Funny thing-It beeps whenever it is warmed up and after the waffle is done. It sounds just like the Alarm clock which I failed to mention my first beep of the day; everyday. Ok. Ok I think I need to add ear plugs to my daily attire. You have to really know what the beeps these days mean and listen because you may miss them.

Don't fail to mention. The smoke detectors in the house. Now you have to hunt down which one is beeping because it needs a new battery.

Beep, Beep - time to change activities.
I need a reminder to take a break from the computer.
