June 1st

Pastor Ken

For today’s devotion, I want to defer to the late Charles Spurgeon.

Joel 2:32 (KJV)

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered…

“Why do I not call on His name?  Why do I run to this neighbor and that when God is so near and will hear my faintest call?  Why do I sit down and devise schemes and invent plans?  Why not at once roll myself and my burden upon the Lord?

I need not ask whether I may call on Him or not, for that word ‘whosoever’ is a very wide and comprehensive one.  Whosoever means me, for it means anybody and everybody who calls upon God.  I will therefore follow the leading of the text, and at once, call upon the glorious Lord who had made so large a promise.  

My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no business of mine.  He who makes the promise will find ways and means of keeping it.  It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels.  I am His servant, not His solicitor.  I call upon Him, and He will deliver.”

Have a great Monday.
