Spiritual Encouragement

From C.H. Spurgeon -
"The apostle tells us, 'Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!' (Phil. 4:4). Let us be thankful that the Lord lives, for 'He is [our] rock' (Ps. 92:15). 'Nor is there any rock like our God' (1 Sam. 2:2). He is ready to help those who serve Him. Believer, the fountain of your joy is never dried up. If, like Jonah, your plants are withered (Jonah 4:7), your God still lives. If, like Job, your goods have been plundered (Job 1:15), the highest good is still yours….You have a possession that is unfading, a promise that is unfailing, and a Protector who is unchanging. Though you live in a faithless world, you dwell in a faithful God."

Elevation Worship - O Come to the Altar

Spiritual Encouragement

Bel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over; their images are consigned to the beasts and the cattle. The things that you carry are burdensome, a load for the weary beast. They stooped over, they have bowed down together; they could not rescue the burden, but have themselves gone into captivity. Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, You who have been borne by Me from birth and have been carried from the womb; even to your old age I will be the same, and even to your graying years I will bear you! I have done it, and I will carry you; and I will bear you and I will deliver you.

Isaiah 46:1-4
