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.

 I had never heard of this series before and was quite interested in it.  I enjoyed watching the three episodes that I watched in Season 4 - 1-3 episodes.  I loved watching something that didn't have cursing and the wokeness of this world where everyone thinks it is normal to see a man kiss a man or a woman kiss a woman.  I don't understand why movie producers think everyone agrees with this life style.  As a Christian having all this wokeness pushed on me is offensive.  This series was so awesome the Bible is quoted many times through out and it was such a joy to watch without all the cursing.  Clean movies are hard to come by any more and it is so sad. Definitely a series that the whole family can watch and learn good values.  That is what we need in this day and age.
