March 7th Morning

0:00You're listening to Morning and Evening, a daily devotional work by Reverend Charles Spurgeon. This reading is brought to you by the Spurgeon Study Bible, available in the original King James version, or the Christian Standard Bible, at SpurgeonStudyBible.com Good morning. Today is March the 7th. Have faith in God, Mark 11 verse 22. Faith is the foot of the soul by which it can march along the road of the commandments. Love can make the feet move more swiftly, but faith is the foot which carries the soul. Faith is the oil enabling the wheels of holy devotion and of earnest piety to

1:03move well, and without faith the wheels are taken from the chariot and we drag heavily. With faith I can do all things, without faith I shall neither have the incarnation nor the power to do anything in the service of God. If you would find the men who serve God the best, you must look for the men of the most faith. Little faith will save a man, but little faith cannot do great things for God. Poor little faith could not afford a polyon. It needed Christian to do that. Poor little faith could not have slain giant despair. It required great heart's arm to knock that monster down. Little faith will go to heaven most certainly, but it often has to hide itself in a nutshell, and it frequently loses all but its jewels. Little faith says, it is a rough road, beset with sharp thorns and full of dangers. I am afraid to go, but great faith remembers the promise.

2:09Thy shoes shall be iron and brass, as thy days socialize strength be, and so she boldly ventures. Little faith stands desponding, mingling her tears with a flood, but great faith sings, when our passes through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee. And she forwards the stream at once. Would you be comfortable and happy? Would you enjoy religion? Would you have the religion of cheerfulness and not that of gloom? Then have faith in God. If you love darkness and are satisfied to dwell in gloom and misery, then be content with little faith. But if you love the sunshine and would sing songs of rejoicing, covet earnestly this best gift, great faith. Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit,

3:13soul and body be kept plainless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
