C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

"Forget not all His benefits."-Psalm 103:2
    
    It is a delightful and profitable occupation to mark the hand of God in the lives of ancient saints, and to observe His goodness in delivering them, His mercy in pardoning them, and His faithfulness in keeping His covenant with them. But would it not be even more interesting and profitable for us to remark the hand of God in our own lives? Ought we not to look upon our own history as being at least as full of God, as full of His goodness and of His truth, as much a proof of His faithfulness and veracity, as the lives of any of the saints who have gone before? We do our Lord an injustice when we suppose that He wrought all His mighty acts, and showed Himself strong for those in the early time, but doth not perform wonders or lay bare His arm for the saints who are now upon the earth. Let us review our own lives. Surely in these we may discover some happy incidents, refreshing to ourselves and glorifying to our God. Have you had no deliverances? Have you passed through no rivers, supported by the divine presence? Have you walked through no fires unharmed? Have you had no manifestations? Have you had no choice favours? The God who gave Solomon the desire of his heart, hath He never listened to you and answered your requests? That God of lavish bounty of whom David sang, "Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things," hath He never satiated you with fatness? Have you never been made to lie down in green pastures? Have you never been led by the still waters? Surely the goodness of God has been the same to us as to the saints of old. Let us, then, weave His mercies into a song. Let us take the pure gold of thankfulness, and the jewels of praise and make them into another crown for the head of Jesus. Let our souls give forth music as sweet and as exhilarating as came from David's harp, while we praise the Lord whose mercy endureth for ever.

Would a Worm Go on a Walk by Hannah C. Hall with giveaway

Read to the end of this post this book has a giveaway.


http://shopbetterbooks.com/would-a-worm-go-on-a-walk
About the book:
“Would a worm go on a walk, if you could lead him down the street? / Would he wear his tiny tennies, if he had two worm-sized feet?”
            So begins this humorous and imaginative picture book that introduces children to the idea that animals are uniquely created by a loving and wise God. Would a Worm Go on a Walk?, with its colorful, comical illustrations, is a fresh, fun way to teach young children that God created all things very good. He gave all the animals, and children, too, wonderful qualities and unique strengths. Children will giggle over the ridiculous scenarios presented, and they will come away with the knowledge that we all are loved and special.
            Format: Jacketed hardcover
            Page count: 32
            Reading age: 4-7
Your youngster will be laughing as you read this rhyming book together.  To picture a worm with tennies on or a pig playing the piano, or even a lion as a lifeguard, how absurd can you get?  However, it'll grab and keep their attention and give you wonderful talking power for bringing God's creation into your conversation.  You'll enjoy laughing along with your toddler as you turn each page of the book.  The illustrations are  just as charming and eye appealing as the rhyming meter.  Bold, bright and colorful to grab even the youngest of the group.  The worm on this cover and his animal friends throughout the book will walk right into your child's heart and make this book a well loved and asked for book.
