I’ve been enjoying Charles Spurgeon’s underrated Cheque Book of the Bank of Faith so much that we might as well start a regular feature called “Spurgeon Monday.”
If you’ve never read this devotional, think about this — do you like his “Morning and Evening” and wish we’d gotten a “Morning, Afternoon, and Evening?”
Consider this the afternoon.
Spurgeon, from August 10’s entry:
“All my changes come from him who never changes.
If I had grown rich, I should have seen his hand in it, and I should have praised him; let me equally see his hand if I am made poor, and let me as heartily praise him. When we go down in the world, it is of the Lord, and so we may take it patiently; when we rise in the world, it is of the Lord, and we may accept it thankfully.
In any case, the Lord hath done it, and it is well.”
