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

                                                                         Heavenly Wealth

                  No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
                                                                                        ~ Psalm 84:11

  "Many pleasing things the Lord may withhold, but "no good thing." He is the best judge of what is good for us.
  Holiness is a good thing, and this He will work in us freely. Victory over evil tendencies and evil habits, He will gladly grant.
  Full assurance He will bestow, near communion with Himself, access into all truth, and boldness with prevalence at the mercy seat. If we have not these, it is from want of faith to receive, and not from any unwillingness of God to give. A calm, heavenly frame, great patience, and fervent love-all these will He give to holy diligence. But note that we must "walk uprightly." If we walk foully, God cannot give us favors, for that would be a premium upon sin. The way of uprightness is the way of heavenly wealth-wealth so large as to include every good thing."

                                                          Perfection and Preservation

                                      He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
                                                                            ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:24

  "What will He do? He will sanctify us wholly. He will carry on the work of purification till we are perfect in every part. He will preserve our "whole spirit, soul, and body" blameless until His coming. He will not allow us to fall from grace, nor come under the dominion of sin.
  Who will do this? The Lord has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light, out of death in sin into eternal life in Christ Jesus. Only He can do this.
  Why will He do it? Because He is "faithful" - faithful to His own promise, which is pledged to save the believer; faithful to His Son, whose reward it is that His people shall be presented to Him faultless; faithful to the work which He has commenced in us.
  Come, my soul, here is a grand feast. There may be fogs without, but there should be sunshine within." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

                                      Immortal Until the Lord's Work Is Done

                     I shall not die, but live, and delcare the works of the Lord.
                                                                                       ~ Psalm 118:17

  "Is my case like that of David? Are there multitudes against me, and few on my side? Does unbelief bid me lie down and die in despair - a defeated man? Do my enemies begin to dig my grave?
  What then? shall I yield to the whisper of fear and give up the battle, and with it give up all hope? Far from it. There is life in me yet, "I shall not die." Vigor will return and remove my weakness, "I shall live." The Lord lives, and I shall live also.
  I shall speak of the present trouble as another instance of the wonder - working faithfulness and love of my God. Those who would gladly measure me for my coffin had better wait a bit, for "the Lord has chastened me severly, but He has not given me over to death" (Ps. 118:18). Till the Lord wills it, no vault can close upon me." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

                                                                        Through Cleansing

"I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols."
                                                                                      ~ Ezekiel 36:25

  "What an exceeding joy is this! He who has purified us with the blood of Jesus will also cleanse us by the water of the Holy Spirit. God has said it, and so it must be, "You shall be clean." Lord, we feel and mourn our uncleanness, and it is cheering to be assured by Your own mouth that we shall be clean.
  He will deliver us from our worst sins; these shall be so purged always as never to return. He will also cleanse us from all our idols; that which we have idolized shall either be broken from us, or we shall be broken off from it.
  It is God who speaks of what He Himself will do. Therefore is this word established and sure, and we may boldly look for that which it guarantees us." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
