Verse of the week

'The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it' 1 Thessalonians 5:24

We're currently reading 'Morning and Evening', which is a verse each morning and evening (clever, huh?!) with comments by a man called CH Spurgeon, who was a top preacher minister guy about 100 years ago. This was Monday morning's verse - here's what he says (it's old-stylee language, but worth reading...)

'The doctrine of God's word is that all who are in union with the Lamb are safe; that all the righteous shall find Christ a faithful preserver. Sustained by such a doctrine we can enjoy security even on (this) earth; not that high and glorious security which renders us free from every slip, but that holy security which arises from the sure promise of Jeuss that none who believe in Him shall ever perish, but shall be with Him where He is.
'May our God bring home to you a sense of your safety in Christ Jesus! May he whisper in your ear the promise 'Fear not, I am with you.' You will have a foretaste of the enjoyments which enthral the souls of the perfect saints above, if you can believe with faith that 'the One who calls you is faithful and he will do it.''

Fuelled by that, Monday was a great day - I'm praying I'd remember those words every day.
