C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional
Friday June 6, 2025

"Behold, I am vile."-Job 40:4
    
    One cheering word, poor lost sinner, for thee! You think you must not come to God because YOU are vile. Now, there is not a saint living on earth but has been made to feel that he is vile. If Job, and Isaiah, and Paul were all obliged to say "I am vile," oh, poor sinner, wilt thou be ashamed to join in the same confession? If divine grace does not eradicate all sin from the believer, how dost thou hope to do it thyself? and if God loves His people while they are yet vile, dost thou think thy vileness will prevent His loving thee? Believe on Jesus, thou outcast of the world's society! Jesus calls thee, and such as thou art.
    
    "Not the righteous, not the righteous;
    Sinners, Jesus came to call."
    
    Even now say, "Thou hast died for sinners; I am a sinner, Lord Jesus, sprinkle Thy blood on me"; if thou wilt confess thy sin thou shalt find pardon. If, now, with all thy heart, thou wilt say, "I am vile, wash me," thou shalt be washed now. If the Holy Spirit shall enable thee from thy heart to cry
    
    Just as I am, without one plea
    But that Thy blood was shed for me,
    And that thou bidd'st me come to Thee,
    O Lamb of God, I come!"
    
    thou shalt rise from reading this morning's portion with all thy sins pardoned; and though thou didst wake this morning with every sin that man hath ever committed on thy head, thou shalt rest to-night accepted in the Beloved; though once degraded with the rags of sin, thou shalt be adorned with a robe of righteousness, and appear white as the angels are. For "now," mark it, "Now is the accepted time." If thou "believest on Him who justifieth the ungodly thou art saved." Oh! may the Holy Spirit give thee saving faith in Him who receives the vilest.

Book Excerpt  

The magnets are so cute

that I must knock them off

but get yelled at for this,

so the new approach is soft.


I sit by the fridge

staring at those squares

and when Human isn’t looking

I lick with tongue hairs.


All was going good

until one was quite sticky

leaving a bad taste,

and I’m not so picky.


I bite at the air

to get rid of the taste

then knock down that magnet;

good riddance, post-haste.**
