(Charles Spurgeon, "Flowers from a Puritan's Garden" 1883)
"Wisdom's dole is given at wisdom's gates!"
Those who wish for it--must go there for it.
Resort to the 'Beautiful Gate' of the temple--if you would obtain that healing which is given by the gospel.
Search the Scriptures--if you would find eternal life.
Hasten humbly to the gate of prayer--if you would obtain God's covenant blessings.
Above all, wait at the cross-foot--for the purchased blessings of Jesus' love.
The dole is free and large, but God has His place appointed for its distribution--be often there.
Lord, I would not be absent when Your alms are being distributed, for I am as poor as poverty itself! See, I am even now waiting at the portal of Your grace. Give me, I beseech you, my daily bread from Heaven, and send me on my way rejoicing.
