Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; — Say, with Job, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.” “Trust in him at all times,” even when he seemeth to be angry, and hideth his face from you. “Trust in him at all times” even in the stormy and dark day. It is among the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times;- I cannot tell what “times” you may be passing through just now, yet I can repeat David’s exhortation, “Trust in him at all times.” In your darkest hours, in the most terrible times that you ever have, when all seems lost, when the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Ye people, pour out your heart before him: — The prophet Jeremiah bade the people pour out their heart “like water before the face of the Lord;” — not like oil, some of which clings to the glass but like water, which runs away to the last drop. So, sinner, pour out your whole heart before the Lord, for this is the way to be saved. Bring your...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Ye people, pour out your heart before him:- That is the way to get rid of all your troubles; take your heart, and turn it upside down, and pour out all that is in it. Do not save a drop or a drag: try not to hide one secret sorrow from your God, nor one slight grief that nestles in a corner of your spirit. “Pour out your heart before him.” It will...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
God is a refuge for us. Selah. Surely men of low degree are vanity, There is nothing in them; they are only the very essence of vanity.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Surely men of low degree are vanity, They promise what they cannot perform. Psa_62:9. And men of high degree are a lie: They often promise what they will not perform. The many-headed multitude are vanity, put the whole of them into the scales, and how much do they weigh? Just nothing: and as for the aristocrats, those great men that would ride...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And men of high degree- They must surely be better. No, they are even worse: “Men of high degree” — Psa_62:9. Are a lie: Their presence of being better because they are of high degree is mere presence. Well but, if we mix them up, and get some poor men and some rich ones, some peasants and some peers, can we not make something solid out of this...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. They will be as deceptive to you as the multitude or as the prince.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Trust not in oppression,- An ungodly man says, “Well, if I cannot trust in others, I will trust in myself; my own stout arm shall win me the victory, and I will tread others down beneath my feet.” “I will get money,” says another; “somehow or other, I will get money.” To both of these, David says, “Trust not in oppression,” — Psa_62:10. And become...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. Hear that, Christian, and from this day forward place no reliance upon thyself, or upon thyself any but thy God.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. Where ought we to put our confidence? Why, where true power is. If there were any power elsewhere, we might put a measure of confidence elsewhere; but when twice the heavenly message declares that power belongs to God, our wisdom will be shown in putting our trust in God.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. God gives to each Christian grace proportioned to his work, and then he gives a reward — not of merit, but of mercy, in proportion to the work done. God grant us the grace to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest this most instructive Psalm, until our...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:- Almighty power would be terrible if it were separated from infinite mercy; but it is not so. Psa_62:12. For thou renderest to every man according to his work. Thou givest him enough strength with which to do his work. Thou dost not send him to do a work beyond his power, and leave him to fail; but unto all...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O God, thou art my God; The psalmist has no doubt about this great fact, he does not hesitate or falter, but he makes the positive assertion, “O God, thou art my El, my mighty God, strong to deliver me.” In the sixty-second Psalm, he had finished up with the power of God: “God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O God, Two very solemn words; never use them, I pray you, as hasty, thoughtless expressions. God’s name must never be taken in vain; I fear that there are some who do this, and are not rebuked for it. When we say, “O God,” there ought to be something solemn to follow. Psa_63:1. Thou art my God; The second word “God” signifies “my strong one, my...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: Because thou art mine, therefore will I seek thee.” A sense of possession makes us long for the enjoyment of all that is really ours. Psa_63:1. My soul thirsteth for thee my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; “Nothing but thyself can content me; everything else, or...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O God, thou art my God; Everything else has gone, but thou art my God. There are gods of the heathen, but thou, the true and real Jehovah, art my God. Oh, what a blessed thing it is to take a firm grip of God after this fashion, “ O God, thou art my God.” Psa_63:1. Early will I seek thee: “ Oh,” says one, “ why did he seek God if God was his?”...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
O God, thou art my God; — Read that sentence how you will, it is unspeakably precious. If we say “O God, thou art my God,” it brings out the possession which the believer has in God. If we say “O God, thou art my God,” it shows the greatness of the possession which we thus have in having this God to be our God forever and ever. And if we say “O...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; to see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Long after the old times over again — for those times of heaven upon earth — those special seasons when the Lord made the vail between us and heaven to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. He did not want the sanctuary so much as to see God in the sanctuary. Brethren, it is well to have a love to our own place of worship, but it is infinitely better to have a soul longing for the God we worship, and to feel that the place of worship is nothing unless God be...
