Faith's Check Book, Daily
Entry
C. H. Spurgeon
The upright shall have good things in possession.
(Proverbs 28:10)
The book
of Proverbs is also a book of promises. Promises ought to be proverbs among the
people of God. This is a very remarkable one. We are accustomed to think of our
good things as in reversion, but here we are told that we shall have them in
possession. Not all the malice and cunning of our enemies can work our destruction:
they shall fall into the pit which they have digged. Our inheritance is so
entailed upon us that we shall not be kept out of it, nor so turned out of the
way as to miss it. But what have we now? We have a quiet conscience through the
precious blood of Jesus. We have the love of God set upon us beyond all change.
We have power with God in prayer in all time of need. We have the providence of
God to watch over us, the angels of God to minister to us, and, above all, the
Spirit of God to dwell in us. In fact, all things are ours. "Whether
things present or things to come: all are yours." Jesus is ours. Yea, the
divine Trinity in unity is ours. Hallelujah. Let us not pine and whine and
stint and slave, since we have good things in possession. Let us live on our
God and rejoice in Him all the day. Help us, 0 Holy Ghost!
