In this Joomla! Spurgeon module, the developer attempts to combine two of Spurgeon's masterworks, namely Faith Checkbook and the Morning & Evening daily readings. According to the hour that the user accesses the website, the appropriate article will be displayed for his reading pleasure. The article from Faith Checkbook is served as a mid-day devotion, meeting the needs of the reader as he hungers for more in the time between morning and evening.
Spurgeon's Faith Checkbook
For the mid-day devotion of December 7th
Gift of Strength; Peace to Bless
The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace. (Psalm 29:11)
avid 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 forever!
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!
