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

                                                                                                   Love the Church

You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come. For Your servants take pleasure in her stones, and show favor to her dust.

                                                                               ~ Psalm 102:13-14

  "Yes, our prayers for the church will be heard. The set time in come. We are bound in heart to all the people of God, and can truly say,
    

           "There's not a lamb in all Thy flock
            I would disdain to feed;
           There's not a foe before whose face
           I'd fear Thy cause to plead."

If this is the general feeling, we shall soon enjoy times of refreshing from the Lord. Our assemblies will be filled, saints will be revived, and sinners will be converted. We are called upon to expect it. Let us love every stone of our Zion, even though it may be fallen down. Let us treasure up the least truth, the least believer. When we favor Zion, God is about to favor her. When we take pleasure in the Lord's work, the Lord Himself will take pleasure in it."
