Faith’s Check Book
By Charles H. Spurgeon
GOD’S MULTIPLICATION TABLE
"A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one
a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time" Isaiah 60:22
Works for the Lord often begin on a small scale, and they
are none the worse for this. Feebleness educates faith, brings God near, and
wins glory for His name. Prize promises of increase! Mustard seed is the
smallest among seeds, and yet it becomes a tree-like plant, with branches which
lodge the birds of Heaven. We may begin with one, and that "a little
one," and yet it will "become a thousand." The Lord is great at
the multiplication table. How often did He say to His lone servant, "I
will multiply thee!" Trust in the Lord, ye ones and twos; for He will be
in the midst of you if you are gathered in His name.
"A small one." What can be more despicable in the
eyes of those who count heads and weigh forces! yet this is the nucleus of a
great nation. Only one star shines out at first in the evening, but soon the
sky is crowded with countless lights.
Nor need we think the prospect of increase to be remote, for
the promise is, "I Jehovah will hasten it in his time." There will be
no premature haste, like that which we see at excited meetings; it will be all
in due time; but yet there will be no delay. When the Lord hastens, His speed
is glorious.
Thought’s for the Quiet Hour
Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of
life
Revelation 2:10
There is a heaven at the end of every faithful Christian’s
journey.
