C.H. Spurgeon's Evening Devotional

"Are they Israelites? so am I."-2 Corinthians 11:22

We have here A PERSONAL CLAIM, and one that needs proof. The apostle knew that His claim was indisputable, but there are many persons who have no right to the title who yet claim to belong to the Israel of God. If we are with confidence declaring, "So am I also an Israelite," let us only say it after having searched our heart as in the presence of God. But if we can give proof that we are following Jesus, if we can from the heart say, "I trust Him wholly, trust Him only, trust Him simply, trust Him now, and trust Him ever," then the position which the saints of God hold belongs to us-all their enjoyments are our possessions; we may be the very least in Israel, "less than the least of all saints," yet since the mercies of God belong to the saints AS SAINTS, and not as advanced saints, or well-taught saints, we may put in our plea, and say, "Are they Israelites? so am I; therefore the promises are mine, grace is mine, glory will be mine." The claim, rightfully made, is one which will yield untold comfort. When God's people are rejoicing that they are His, what a happiness if they can say, "So AM I!" When they speak of being pardoned, and justified, and accepted in the Beloved, how joyful to respond, "Through the grace of God, SO AM I." But this claim not only has its enjoyments and privileges, but also its conditions and duties. We must share with God's people in cloud as well as in sunshine. When we hear them spoken of with contempt and ridicule for being Christians, we must come boldly forward and say, "So am I." When we see them working for Christ, giving their time, their talent, their whole heart to Jesus, we must be able to say, "So do I." O let us prove our gratitude by our devotion, and live as those who, having claimed a privilege, are willing to take the responsibility connected with it.

Furry Logic, 10th Anniversary Edition by Jane Seabrook

http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/240136/furry-logic-10th-anniversary-edition-by-jane-seabrook/

The pictures are adorable and the quotes are hilarious in Jane Seabrook's Furry Logic. This book is a cute guide to life's little challenges. The book is a nice size just to leave laying around on the end table to pick up and read a few quick refreshing quotes. You'll laugh at the animals that are pictured in the quotes as well. After reading these quotes you'll look at everyday life with new perspective.

I had a fourth grade boy I work with almost use one of the quotes in this book to the tea one day when he came up to me at school and said...."Mrs. Buening can you talk to ____________ he's getting on my one last nerve." I had a good chuckle as I said. "Oh, yah and how's that?"

Here are a few of my favorites:
