C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional

Tuesday May 13, 2025

"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."-Psalm 30:5

    Christian! If thou art in a night of trial, think of the morrow; cheer up thy heart with the thought of the coming of thy Lord. Be patient, for

    "Lo! He comes with clouds descending."

    Be patient! The Husbandman waits until He reaps His harvest. Be patient; for you know who has said, "Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man according as his work shall be." If you are never so wretched now, remember

    "A few more rolling suns, at most,
    Will land thee on fair Canaan's coast."

    Thy head may be crowned with thorny troubles now, but it shall wear a starry crown ere long; thy hand may be filled with cares-it shall sweep the strings of the harp of heaven soon. Thy garments may be soiled with dust now; they shall be white by-and-by. Wait a little longer. Ah! how despicable our troubles and trials will seem when we look back upon them! Looking at them here in the prospect, they seem immense; but when we get to heaven we shall then

    "With transporting joys recount,
    The labours of our feet."

    Our trials will then seem light and momentary afflictions. Let us go on boldly; if the night be never so dark, the morning cometh, which is more than they can say who are shut up in the darkness of hell. Do you know what it is thus to live on the future-to live on expectation-to antedate heaven? Happy believer, to have so sure, so comforting a hope. It may be all dark now, but it will soon be light; it may be all trial now, but it will soon be all happiness. What matters it though "weeping may endure for a night," when "joy cometh in the morning?"

When We Last Spoke movie with giveaway

When We Last Spoke is a movie based on a book by Marci Henna. It is is a heartwarming story of faith, family, and forgiveness. It recently won award(s) at the Crown Awards at the National Religious Broadcasters 2021 Christian Media Convention for: best picture, best narrative, and best supporting actor just to name a few. Some of the cast include: Melissa Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie), Cloris Leachman, and Corbin Bernsen.

I so totally enjoyed this movie. Juliette and Evangeline will keep you laughing and bring you to tears. There are ups and downs in every family and these two sisters are no different. They quickly find themselves having to adjust to family life with grandparents and their father is deployed to Vietnam and their mother farms them off to grandparents. Together they learn to overcome uncertainty and heartbreak.

It is an excellent movie for the whole family to watch. It has humor, battles won (triumphs) and upsets (heartbreaks). This is a movie that you'll want to watch over and over again.

You may watch the film on Amazon Prime or visit our website to find all the ways to view this
powerful movie with the whole family.
