C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"Oh that I were as in months past."-Job 29:2
    
    Numbers of Christians can view the past with pleasure, but regard the present with dissatisfaction; they look back upon the days which they have passed in communing with the Lord as being the sweetest and the best they have ever known, but as to the present, it is clad in a sable garb of gloom and dreariness. Once they lived near to Jesus, but now they feel that they have wandered from Him, and they say, "O that I were as in months past!" They complain that they have lost their evidences, or that they have not present peace of mind, or that they have no enjoyment in the means of grace, or that conscience is not so tender, or that they have not so much zeal for God's glory. The causes of this mournful state of things are manifold. It may arise through a comparative neglect of prayer, for a neglected closet is the beginning of all spiritual decline. Or it may be the result of idolatry. The heart has been occupied with something else, more than with God; the affections have been set on the things of earth, instead of the things of heaven. A jealous God will not be content with a divided heart; He must be loved first and best. He will withdraw the sunshine of His presence from a cold, wandering heart. Or the cause may be found in self-confidence and self-righteousness. Pride is busy in the heart, and self is exalted instead of lying low at the foot of the cross. Christian, if you are not now as you "were in months past," do not rest satisfied with wishing for a return of former happiness, but go at once to seek your Master, and tell Him your sad state. Ask His grace and strength to help you to walk more closely with Him; humble yourself before Him, and He will lift you up, and give you yet again to enjoy the light of His countenance. Do not sit down to sigh and lament; while the beloved Physician lives there is hope, nay there is a certainty of recovery for the worst cases.

Galaxy Buck: Mission to Sector 9 with giveaway

Be sure to read to the end.  

Giveaway included.




About the movie:
Buck Denver has a simple dream - to save the galaxy.  Working for the Galactic Mission Board, Buck dreams of carrying God's love to every corner of the Milky Way!  Except he doesn't have a starship.  Or a crew.  Or even a captain's license.  He just needs a chance.  But when that chance comes and Buck finds himself leading a real mission into deep space, things don't go at ALL like he imagined!  If he's doing what God wants him to do, why is everything going wrong?  From VeggieTales® and What's in the Bible? creator Phil Vischer, Galaxy Buck: Mission to Sector 9 is a wild, galactic adventure that teaches kids a powerful lesson about trusting God with everything - even our dreams! 
Run time: Approximately 40 minutes




This is a cute movie for young and old alike to see.  The animated characters you're bound to fall in love with.  Though the movie was presented with 5-8 year olds in mind, it's a wonderful must see for any age (young and young-at-heart).  If you're a Star Wars or Star Trek fan you'll quickly fall in love with Buck and his gang as they teach a valuable lesson in this DVD.  You don't have to do great things for God.  He just wants you to trust Him and help whomever He puts in your path, which Buck learns is the Rule of Love.  So go ahead and take a journey to Sector 9 with Galaxy Buck and the gang you won't regret it.  To top things off I have been offered the chance to give a copy of this DVD away.  Leave a comment telling me who you'd like to see this movie with.  Giveaway valid only in US & Canada.  I will draw a winner on Oct. 31.  Be sure to leave a way for me to contact you if you are the winner.
