May 25

In these most trying times as we are reminded nothing in this world is worthy of our trust. It is our oportunity to recall God’s everlasting Love.  He has promised everything we need and much of what we desire. 

As i am reaching what i am sure is my limit and evan beyond i am reminded the road up to the top of a hill is hardest just before get there.  Trusting my lord and saviour allows me not to waste so much energy considering if i can make it and brings my whole heart into anticipation of his refreshing that is certain to come.  This is what they mean walking by faith. for sure i can take one more step knowing Jesus is right in front of me clearing my way today. for sure this is the only hope with substance. Hoping beyond hope!

C. H. Spurgeon

The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure. (Deuteronomy 28:12)

God’s Treasury

This refers first to the rain. The Lord will give this in its season. Rain is the emblem of all those celestial refreshings which the Lord is ready to bestow upon His people. Oh, for a copious shower to refresh the Lord’s heritage!

We seem to think that God’s treasury can only be opened by a great prophet like Elijah, but it is not so, for this promise is to all the faithful in Israel, and, indeed, to each one of them. O believing friend, “the Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure.” Thou, too, mayest see heaven opened and thrust in thy hand and take out thy portion, yea, and a portion for all thy brethren round about thee. Ask what thou wilt, and thou shalt not be denied if thou abidest in Christ and His words abide in thee.

As yet thou has not known all thy Lord’s treasures, but He shall open them up to thine understanding. Certainly thou hast not yet enjoyed the fullness of His covenant riches, but He will direct thine heart into His love and reveal Jesus in thee. Only the Lord Himself can do this for thee; but here is His promise, and if thou wilt hearken diligently unto His voice and obey His will, His riches in glory by Christ Jesus shall be thine.
