Faith's Check Book, Daily
Entry
C. H. Spurgeon
One Look from the Lord!
And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this
thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not
I sent thee? (Judges 6:14)
What a
look was that which the Lord gave to Gideon! He looked him out of his
discouragement into a holy bravery. If our look to the Lord saves us, what will
not His look at us do? Lord, look on me this day and nerve me for its duties
and conflicts.
What a
word was this which Jehovah spoke to Gideon! "Go." He must not
hesitate. He might have answered, "What, go in all this weakness?"
But the Lord put that word out of court by saying, "Go in this thy
might." The Lord had looked might into him, and he had now nothing to do
but to use it and save Israel by smiting the Midianites. It may be that the
Lord has more to do by me than I ever dreamed of. If He has looked upon me, He
has made me strong. Let me by faith exercise the power with which He has
entrusted me. He never bids me "idle away my time in this my might."
Far from it. I must "go" because He strengthens me. What a question
is that which the Lord puts to me even as He put it to Gideon! "Have not I
sent thee!" Yes, Lord, Thou hast sent me, and I will go in Thy strength.
At Thy command I go, and, going, I am assured that Thou wilt conquer by me.
