C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"We live unto the Lord."-Romans 14:8
    
    If God had willed it, each of us might have entered heaven at the moment of conversion. It was not absolutely necessary for our preparation for immortality that we should tarry here. It is possible for a man to be taken to heaven, and to be found meet to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light, though he has but just believed in Jesus. It is true that our sanctification is a long and continued process, and we shall not be perfected till we lay aside our bodies and enter within the veil; but nevertheless, had the Lord so willed it, He might have changed us from imperfection to perfection, and have taken us to heaven at once. Why then are we here? Would God keep His children out of paradise a single moment longer than was necessary? Why is the army of the living God still on the battle-field when one charge might give them the victory? Why are His children still wandering hither and thither through a maze, when a solitary word from His lips would bring them into the centre of their hopes in heaven? The answer is-they are here that they may "live unto the Lord," and may bring others to know His love. We remain on earth as sowers to scatter good seed; as ploughmen to break up the fallow ground; as heralds publishing salvation. We are here as the "salt of the earth," to be a blessing to the world. We are here to glorify Christ in our daily life. We are here as workers for Him, and as "workers together with Him." Let us see that our life answereth its end. Let us live earnest, useful, holy lives, to "the praise of the glory of His grace." Meanwhile we long to be with Him, and daily sing-
    
    "My heart is with Him on His throne,
    And ill can brook delay;
    Each moment listening for the voice,
    'Rise up, and come away.'"

    How on earth did that happen?? Because of the heat or someone trying to break in? We're in triple digits too, and we're suppose to be getting a slight break from it this week. Have a great Wednesday!

    Yes, we believe it was the heat. We don't lock our car and there was no sign of it being hit by an object, caved in or such. It was all intact just shattered didn't fall out til we moved the car.

    Oh no! The heat did that? Crazy!

    I hope you get some cool air soon (and that your insurance takes care of that window for you!)
