C.H. Spurgeon's Evening Devotional

Thursday June 19, 2025

"My Beloved is mine, and I am His: He feedeth among the lilies. Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my Beloved, and be Thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether."-Song of Solomon 2:16, 17

    Surely if there be a happy verse in the Bible it is this-"My Beloved is mine, and I am His." So peaceful, so full of assurance, so overrunning with happiness and contentment is it, that it might well have been written by the same hand which penned the twenty-third Psalm. Yet though the prospect is exceeding fair and lovely-earth cannot show its superior-it is not entirely a sunlit landscape. There is a cloud in the sky which casts a shadow over the scene. Listen, "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away."

    There is a word, too, about the "mountains of Bether," or, "the mountains of division," and to our love, anything like division is bitterness. Beloved, this may be your present state of mind; you do not doubt your salvation; you know that Christ is yours, but you are not feasting with Him. You understand your vital interest in Him, so that you have no shadow of a doubt of your being His, and of His being yours, but still His left hand is not under your head, nor doth His right hand embrace you. A shade of sadness is cast over your heart, perhaps by affliction, certainly by the temporary absence of your Lord, so even while exclaiming, "I am His," you are forced to take to your knees, and to pray, "Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my Beloved."

    "Where is He?" asks the soul. And the answer comes, "He feedeth among the lilies." If we would find Christ, we must get into communion with His people, we must come to the ordinances with His saints. Oh, for an evening glimpse of Him! Oh, to sup with Him to-night!

Nonexistent? Really?

This is so me right at the moment. I'm so, so frustrated....If anyone can help me please let me know. Where did homesteadblogger.com move to??????? I had a blog with them back in 2008 and moved to this one in 2010 because they went to WordPress and I so dislike WP. I tried to stay with them for a month and never could get it and still to this day I so dislike posting on any site that uses WP for comments. Well, I can't find my blog stuff that I had on homesteadblogger they have just vanished and I can't find their home to log in????? what has happened in cyber space? I'm nonexistent... really??? I really would love to know. Now I'm going for a walk and then I'll get to my sewing projects for the day. Error I keep getting I've even googled them and can't locate them. ARGH!

I blogged there for years and left when the ads became part of the "new" look. Once again they moved to another platform just about a month or so ago. Homesteadblogger is officially gone as far as I know and homeschoolblogger is now schoolhouse families. Its a Ning type platform. Its sad cause I loved those sites before the "upgrades" a few years ago.
