The Treasury of David
by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
12. It is an awful thing to perish in the midst of sin, in the very wayof rebellion; and yet how easily could his wrath destroy us suddenly.
His anger does not need to be heated seven times hotter; let the fuel kindle buta little, and we are consumed. O sinner! Take heed of the terrors of the
Lord, for “our God is a consuming fire.” Note
the doxology with which the psalm closes: Blessed are all they that puttheir trust in him. Have we a share in this blessedness? Do we trust inhim? Our faith may be slender as a spider’s thread; but if it be real, we
are in our measure blessed. The more we trust, the more fully will we know this
blessedness. We may therefore close the psalm with the prayer of the apostles:
“Lord, increase our faith.”
