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

January 1, 2011
                          The Bible's First Promise

"I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."
                                                          ~ Genesis 3:15

  "This is the first promise to fallen man. It has been in great measure fulfilled. The seed of the woman was bruised; yet how terrible will be the final bruising of the serpent's head! This was virtually done when Jesus took away sin and vanquished death; but it awaits a still fuller accomplishment at our Lord's Second Advent.
  This promise stands as a prophecy that we shall be afflicted by the powers of evil, and thus bruised in our heel: but we shall triumph in Christ, who sets His foot on the serpent's head. This year we may have to learn the first part of this promise through experience, the temptations of the devil, and the unkindness of the ungodly. They may so bruise us that we may limp; but let us grasp the second part of the text. By faith let us rejoice that we shall still reign in Christ Jesus." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

    PLEASE PRY 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!
