You have been nearly shipwrecked, but you are not wrecked. The storm has been very furious, but above all the billows Jehovah’s power has kept and preserved you. Your feet had almost gone, your steps had well nigh slipped, but the divine power interposed in everlasting grace, and to this day - a wonder unto many, but especially a wonder to yourself - you are still on the road towards the celestial city, and you are nearer to it than when you first believed.
(Charles Spurgeon- The Daily Spurgeon)
Amen! That's awesome! God keeps us! He won't let us perish...and we ARE closer to heaven with each passing moment.

ReplyDeleteThis is our hope in life. Future grace :-)
Praise the Lord that we have so much to be thankful for that He has already done for us through His Son, and that because of this we have even more hope in this life that we also have something so beautiful to look forward to as well! I can't imagine living without Him.
