C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

Monday June 16, 2025

"And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish."-John 10:28

    The Christian should never think or speak lightly of unbelief. For a child of God to mistrust His love, His truth, His faithfulness, must be greatly displeasing to Him. How can we ever grieve Him by doubting His upholding grace? Christian! it is contrary to every promise of God's precious Word that thou shouldst ever be forgotten or left to perish. If it could be so, how could He be true who has said, "Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I never forget thee." What were the value of that promise-"The mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of My peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee." Where were the truth of Christ's words-"I give unto My sheep eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand." Where were the doctrines of grace? They would be all disproved if one child of God should perish. Where were the veracity of God, His honour, His power, His grace, His covenant, His oath, if any of those for whom Christ has died, and who have put their trust in Him, should nevertheless be cast away? Banish those unbelieving fears which so dishonour God. Arise, shake thyself from the dust, and put on thy beautiful garments. Remember it is sinful to doubt His Word wherein He has promised thee that thou shalt never perish. Let the eternal life within thee express itself in confident rejoicing.

    "The gospel bears my spirit up:
    A faithful and unchanging God
    Lays the foundation for my hope,
    In oaths, and promises, and blood."

Daybook ~ July 11, 2011

Outside my window...the sun is shining and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day in the neighborhood

I am thinking…that I need to take a walk

I am thankful for...my family

From the kitchen…the newsman is giving the local news on the radio

I am wearing…my jammies right now. I need to get going for the day

I am creating…a list of things that need done within the next few weeks

I am going…to do some serious cleaning today.

I am reading…Lilies in Moonlight by Allison Pittman.

I am hoping…to get some things accomplished today

I am hearing...the radio man talking and I hear my little teen-angels stirring

Around the house…my daughters are beginning to come to life for the day.

One of my favorite things…Ice cream

A few plans for the rest of the week…need to do some deep cleaning in bathroom, living room, kitchen and spare bedroom

Photo for thought…
