Faith's Checkbook (By: C.H. Spurgeon)

                                                         High Places of Defense

He will dwell on high; his place of defense will be the fortress of rocks; bread will be given him, his water will be sure.
                                                                                        ~ Isaiah 33:16

  "The man to whom God has given grace to be of blameless life dwells in perfect security. He dwells on high, above the world, out of reach of the enemy, and near to heaven.
  He is defended by munitions of stupendous rock. The firmest things in the universe are the promise and purposes of the unchanging God, and these the safeguard of the obedient believer.
  He is provided for by this great promise, "Brad shall be given him." The Lord, who rained manna in the wilderness, will keep His people in good store even when they are surrounded by those who would starve them.
  But what if water should fail?That cannot be "his waters shall be sure." The Lord sees that nothing is wanting. None can touch the citizen of the true Zion. However fierce the enemy, the Lord will preserve His chosen." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

  1. Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us of all our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil:For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
