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

April 1, 2011
                                                 The King's Highway

Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray.
                                                          ~ Isaiah 35:8

IF YOU GO DOWN THIS HIGHWAY YOU ARE BOUND
 TO BE DESTROYED BY THE WORLDLY THINGS. GOD
SAID, "FOLLOW MY HIGHWAY AND YOU WILL HAVE
 ROYAL PROTECTION. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT
I WOULD RATHER BE PROTECT BY GOD, THEN HAVE
 TO GO DOWN A ROAD THAT ONLY LEADS TO HARDSHIP
AND PAIN. AT LEAST WITH GOD YOU WILL BE PROTECTED
 AND COMFORTED WHEN THINGS COME YOUR WAY. GOD
 HELPS US IN OUR TIME OF NEED. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS ASK.
  "The way of holiness is so straight and plain that the simplest minds cannot go astray if they constantly follow it. The worldly wise have many twists and turns; they make terrible blunders and generally miss their end. When men choose worldly policy as their road, it leads them over dark mountains. Lord bids them; this keeps them in the king's highway, and under royal protection.
TAKE THIS HIGHWAY, IT GIVES THE ROYAL
PROTECTION THAT WE ALL WANT TO HAVE.
WITHOUT THIS PROTECTION WE WILL HAVE TO
 ENDURE THINGS THAT GOD CANNOT CONTROL
WHEN WE ARE NOT UNDER HIS PROTECTION.
 BECAUSE HE GAVE US FREEDOM OF CHOICE,
HE CANNOT HELP US IF WE WALK AWAY FROM
 HIM. WITH ALOT OF PEOPLE ITS NOT THAT
THEY ARE RUNNING FROM GOD, THEY ARE
 RUNNING FROM THE VERY THING THAT
GOD IS ASKING THEM TO DO.
  Never attempt to help yourself out of a difficulty by a falsehood or by a questionable act; but keep in the middle of the high road of truth and integrity, and you will be following the best possible course. Be just and fear not. God's way must be the best way. Follow it though men think you a fool, and you will be truly wise."
(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
