One gal's record of trying to pay much closer attention to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Help

I apologise if you now have a Beatles song stuck in your head, but the post title has nothing to do with them.

Ever needed help? In my quiet time today I read this phenomenal piece by Charles Spurgeon in his awesome work Morning and Evening:

"'I will help thee.' It is but a small thing for Me, they God, to help thee. Consider what I have done already. What! not help thee? Why, I bought thee with My blood. What! not help thee? I have died for thee; and if I have done the greater, will I not do the less? Help thee! It is the least thing I will ever do for thee; I have done more, and will do more. Before the world began I chose thee. I made the covenant for thee. I laid aside My glory and became a man for thee; I gave My life for thee; and if I did all this, I will surely help thee now. In helping thee, I am giving thee what I have bought for thee already. If thou hadst need of a thousand times as much help, I would give it thee; though requirest little compared with what I am ready to give. 'Tis much for thee to need, but it is nothing for me to bestow. "Help thee?" Fear not! If there were an ant at the door of they granary asking for help, it would not ruin thee to give him a handful of they wheat; and thou art not but a tiny insect at the door of My all sufficiency. "I will help thee".'


"I will help thee, saith the Lord" --Isaiah 41:14

This begged the question: have I asked lately?
