C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional
Saturday May 31, 2025

"The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron."-2 Samuel 15:23
    
    David passed that gloomy brook when flying with his mourning company from his traitor son. The man after God's own heart was not exempt from trouble, nay, his life was full of it. He was both the Lord's Anointed, and the Lord's Afflicted. Why then should we expect to escape? At sorrow's gates the noblest of our race have waited with ashes on their heads, wherefore then should we complain as though some strange thing had happened unto us?
    
    The KING of kings himself was not favoured with a more cheerful or royal road. He passed over the filthy ditch of Kidron, through which the filth of Jerusalem flowed. God had one Son without sin, but not a single child without the rod. It is a great joy to believe that Jesus has been tempted in all points like as we are. What is our Kidron this morning? Is it a faithless friend, a sad bereavement, a slanderous reproach, a dark foreboding? The King has passed over all these. Is it bodily pain, poverty, persecution, or contempt? Over each of these Kidrons the King has gone before us. "In all our afflictions He was afflicted." The idea of strangeness in our trials must be banished at once and for ever, for He who is the Head of all saints, knows by experience the grief which we think so peculiar. All the citizens of Zion must be free of the Honourable Company of Mourners, of which the Prince Immanuel is Head and Captain.
    
    Notwithstanding the abasement of David, he yet returned in triumph to his city, and David's Lord arose victorious from the grave; let us then be of good courage, for we also shall win the day. We shall yet with joy draw water out of the wells of salvation, though now for a season we have to pass by the noxious streams of sin and sorrow. Courage, soldiers of the Cross, the King himself triumphed after going over Kidron, and so shall you.

 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.
