Today… something I’ve never done… but three of Charles Spurgeon’s devotionals have struck this chord in me… so…I’d love to share with you these thoughts…and see how they impact or stimulate yours…by tying them all together in one…thus… “A Special Triple Portion of God’s Mercy and Love”…
First in this… it all ‘begins and continues in Christ’… (because it ‘never ends in Him’)… He is God! and eternal…without beginning and without end… and I believe that God the Father loves us to lift His Son up to Him in prayer and worship as a ‘sweet incense’…what more could a father desire than for his son to be loved so by all…
Rev 1:7-8
7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. Even so. Amen.
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Rev 21:5-6
5 And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.”
6 And He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost.
Rev 22:12-13
12 “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.
13 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
So too…let us then ‘focus on Him first’… and always…
“Thou, Lord, hast made me glad through Thy work.”
Psalm 92:4
