C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"Forsake me not, O Lord."-Psalm 38:21

    Frequently we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we can do without His constant upholding. Whether in light or in darkness, in communion or in temptation, we alike need the prayer, "Forsake me not, O Lord." "Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe." A little child, while learning to walk, always needs the nurse's aid. The ship left by the pilot drifts at once from her course. We cannot do without continued aid from above; let it then be your prayer to-day, "Forsake me not. Father, forsake not Thy child, lest he fall by the hand of the enemy. Shepherd, forsake not Thy lamb, lest he wander from the safety of the fold. Great Husbandman, forsake not Thy plant, lest it wither and die. 'Forsake me not, O Lord,' now; and forsake me not at any moment of my life. Forsake me not in my joys, lest they absorb my heart. Forsake me not in my sorrows, lest I murmur against Thee. Forsake me not in the day of my repentance, lest I lose the hope of pardon, and fall into despair; and forsake me not in the day of my strongest faith, lest faith degenerate into presumption. Forsake me not, for without Thee I am weak, but with Thee I am strong. Forsake me not, for my path is dangerous, and full of snares, and I cannot do without Thy guidance. The hen forsakes not her brood, do Thou then evermore cover me with Thy feathers, and permit me under Thy wings to find my refuge. 'Be not far from me, O Lord, for trouble is near, for there is none to help.' 'Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!'"

    "O ever in our cleansed breast,
    Bid Thine Eternal Spirit rest;
    And make our secret soul to be
    A temple pure and worthy Thee."

table runner swap opportunity.

I just found out about this swap today. I'm still debating if I want to join in. I think it will be fun but only have one day left to decide. ARGH! and then about 10 days to get material find a pattern and get the table runner made. I wish I had known about this swap a little sooner in the game. However, I'm posting to see if anyone else might be interested this late in the game to do the swap. Deadline for signing up is Sept. 30 which is tomorrow; with swap in mail by or before Oct. 20th. hum! would be fun to have a new fall table runner. check out the details at the Apronista.

I have tried through the years to do swaps and never received in return so that is in back of my mind also. I know the Christian thing is not to think that, but to join in a swap not expecting anything in return is a bit disappointing humanly speaking. I chalked them up as my Christian duty and hope and pray that those that got my box received a blessing.
