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

                                                          What Is Painful Will End

"I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would fail before Me, and the souls which I have made."
                                                                                        ~ Isaiah 57:16

  "Our heavenly Father seeks our instruction, not our destruction. His contention with us has a kind intention toward us. We think the Lord is long in His chastisements, but that is because we are short in our patience. The night may drag its weary length along, but it must in the end give place to cheerful day. The Lord loves His chosen too well to be always angry with them.
  Courage, dear heart! The Lord will soon end His chiding. He who made you knows how frail you are and how little you can bear. He will handle tenderly that which He has fashioned so delicately. Therefore, be not afraid because of the painful present, for it hastens to a happy future. His little wrath shall be followed by great mercies." (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 our sins, and 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!
