"He sends forth his commandment upon earth:
His word runs very swiftly" (Psalm 147:15)
No language ever stirs the deeps of my nature like the Word of God, and none produces such a profound calm within my spirit.
As no other voice can,
It is altogether the reverse with the Word of the King of Kings;
it rules me more sovereignly, more practically, more habitually, more completely every day.
Its power is for all seasons . . .
~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon ~
His word runs very swiftly" (Psalm 147:15)
No language ever stirs the deeps of my nature like the Word of God, and none produces such a profound calm within my spirit.
As no other voice can,
- it melts me to tears,
- it humbles me in the dust,
- it fires me with enthusiasm,
- it fills me with pleasure,
- it elevates me to holiness.
- It sweetens my memory,
- it brightens my hope,
- it stimulates my imagination,
- it directs my judgment,
- it commands my will, and
- it cheers my heart.
It is altogether the reverse with the Word of the King of Kings;
it rules me more sovereignly, more practically, more habitually, more completely every day.
Its power is for all seasons . . .
- for sickness and for health,
- for solitude and for company,
- for personal emergencies and for public assemblies.

Amen, Dallas! I would rather have God's to strengthen, encourage, worship,but most of read about God's great love!
Miriam :)
p.s.-- So glad to hear you had no broken bones. I have fallen before and it hurts much more now that I am older. I am happy to hear about the meds reduction.
I love the writings of Spurgeon; He is so poetic!
That is powerful!
It is convicting to me - do I feel that passionate about the Word? I have to confess I don't. But I am learning to.
Thanks.
AMEN....a very hearty AMEN !!!!
Deby
Amen and Amen!!!
Miriam,
So would I :o)
I was so thankful that no bones were broken and as you said, my decrepitness [sp?] likely is dependant on my age and my being out of shape :o)

Deborah,
That he is!

Mrs Rabe,
It's very convicting to me as well because I don't feel the passion for God's Word as I'd like to and it's a continuing lesson for me ...

Deby + Caryn,
AMEN! And again I say AMEN :o)

Oh, this was beautiful...
doesn't C.H. Spurgeon have an eloquence to his writing?! I'm so grateful for his ministry to the Christian saints then and now for proclaiming the truth of God's Word... to fix their eyes upon Jesus!! Thank you for sharing this rich quote, it almost broght tears to my eyes.
Blessed Sabath day to you, Mrs D.
Love in Christ,

Welcome Beth!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your adoption story last evening ~ how precious life is!

Miss Jen,
Spurgeon definitely has an eloquence in his language and writings ... he wasn't afraid to *say it like it is in the Word of God* and that's helpful and needed in every generation!

Blessings to each of you,
Dallas
