Faith’s Check Book
By Charles H. Spurgeon
GIFT OF STRENGTH; PEACE TO BLESS
"The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord
will bless his people with peace" Psalms 29:11
David had just heard the voice of the Lord in a
thunderstorm, and had seen His power in the hurricane whose path he had
described; and now, in the cool calm after the storm, that overwhelming power
by which Heaven and earth are shaken is promised to be the strength of the
chosen. He who wings the unerring bolt will give to His redeemed the wings of
eagles; He who shakes the earth with His voice will terrify the enemies of His
saints, and give His children peace. Why are we weak when we have divine
strength to flee to? Why are we troubled when the Lord’s own peace is ours?
Jesus, the mighty God, is our strength; let us put Him on and go forth to our
service. Jesus, our blessed Lord, is also our peace; let us repose in Him this
day, and end our fears. What a blessing to have Him for our strength and peace
both now and for ever!
That same God who rides upon the storm in days of tempest
will also rule the hurricane of our tribulation, and send us, before long, days
of peace. We shall have strength for storms, and songs for fair weather. Let us
begin to sing at once unto God our strength and our peace. Away, dark thoughts!
Up, faith and hope!

And they came unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy
Mark 2:3
Had it not been for the palsy, this man might never have
seen Christ!
