The Crimson Fountain Is Open Still

Another thought from Morning and Evening:

"Reader, is your heart heavy this evening? God knew it would be; the comfort which your heart wants is treasured in the sweet assurance of the text. You are poor and needy, but he has thought upon you, and has the exact blessing which you require in store for you. Plead the promise, believe it and obtain its fulfilment. Do you feel that you never were so consciously vile as you are now? Behold, the crimson fountain is open still, with all its former efficacy, to wash your sin away. Never shall you come into such a position that Christ cannot aid you. No pinch shall ever arrive in your spiritual affairs in which Jesus Christ shall not be equal to the emergency, for your history has all been foreknown and provided for in Jesus."

Greatness

A thought from Morning and Evening:

You may look, and study, and weigh, but Jesus is a greater Saviour than you think him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest.

Ascend!

More Morning and Evening.

But there is nothing which one saint was, that you may not be. There is no elevation of grace, no attainment of spirituality, no clearness of assurance, no post of duty, which is not open to you if you have but the power to believe. Lay aside your sackcloth and ashes, and rise to the dignity of your true position; you are little in Israel because you will be so, not because there is any necessity for it.

Order

"It is ill to offer God one duty stained with the blood of another."

Another good devotion from Morning and Evening over at CCEL.

That fatal to-morrow...

I've started reading Morning and Evening: Daily Readings by Charles Spurgeon online over at Christian Classics Ethereal Library. A quote from tonight's reading caught my attention:

That fatal to-morrow is blood-red with the murder of fair resolutions; it is the slaughter-house of the innocents.
