The Treasury of David
by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
There
were many, even among David’s own followers, who wanted to see rather than to
believe. Alas, this is the tendency of us all. Even the regenerate sometimes
groan after prosperity, and are sad when darkness covers all good from view. As
for worldlings, this is their unceasing cry: Who will show us any good?
Never satisfied, their empty hearts are ready to drink in any fine delusion
which impostors may invent; and when these fail, they soon yield to despair,
and declare that there is no good thing in either heaven or earth. The true
believer is a man of a very different mold. His face is not downward like the
beasts’, but upward like the angels’. The light of God’s countenance is enough
for him. This is his riches, his honor, his health, his ambition, his ease.
Give him this, and he will ask no more. Oh, for more of the indwelling of the
Holy Spirit, that our fellowship with the Father and his Son Jesus Christ may
be constant!
