Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. And a blessed thing it is when the memory of our sins does perish, and we have no desire to be enslaved by them again.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they, shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. Yes, our lusts are all dead; they will never live again, thank God. The Sword of the Spirit has slain them: “they are deceased.” We want to have nothing more to do with them, we desire...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: God is always glorified in the increase of his people, therefore, we should, above all other reasons, pray for the increase of the Church because God will be thereby glorified.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. That is true of hypocrites; but it is also sweetly true of some whom God is bringing to himself. Child after child has died, loss after loss has broken down the business; now they turn to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. And it was well for them that they did so. God’s true child does not get angry against his Father when he whips him; but, being chastened, he begins to pray; and blessed is that chastening that drives us to our knees: “They poured out a prayer when...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pain; so have we been in thy sight O LORD. We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. Ah, no! all...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD. We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. Here is the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. That note of resurrection comes in as a word of comfort to the most dispirited, the most despairing. As the dead shall live because of Christ, even so is there hope for you who are driven to a very death of despair. You cannot live by your own power; your hopes are all gone,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy dead men shall live,— We shall rise with all that belong to Christ at the first and blessed resurrection, and all our dead hopes and our dead expectations shall rise too. Isa_26:19. Together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. As...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: Enter into the secret Chambers of communion with your Lord, where you shall be shut out from the world. Enter into the chambers of defense, where God will guard you. Enter into the chambers of devotion, where God shall meet with you.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. There is never a flood for the wicked without an ark for the righteous. Never shall a storm sweep over the earth till God hath prepared a great rock wherein his people may be hidden.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. The earth has often covered up the evidences of human guilt. Blood shed in battle has soaked into the soil, and men have forgotten the violence of tyrants and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, That is to say, he will punish those who are like leviathan; the proudest, the greatest, and the most powerful sinners shall not escape divine justice. God’s laws are not, like cobwebs, meant to catch the little flies while the great ones...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. Thus the Lord reveals the tenderness of his love to his Church. Then follows a remarkable passage in which, it seems to me, we have the plan of salvation plainly set out. First, here is man at...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. Men who are at enmity with God little know how terrific is the force of his strength. They are like dry thorns when the fire catches them, and nothing burns more readily. The bush upon the common, when some wild youth...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Or let him take hold of my strength, This is what the repenting and believing sinner does, he lays hold of Christ, he takes the strength of God to be his defense, and then the strong God, instead of being a terror, becomes a comfort to him.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Taking root should be well looked after by the Christian. Some professors have no root; they are all leaf and flower, but they have no root, and consequently they soon wither and die. Happy is that man who is rooted and grounded in...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? No; God smites his people, but he never smites them as he does their enemies. He smites his people, as old Trapp says, with the palm of his hand, as a man may smite his child; but he smites his enemies with his fist, as...
