Spurgeon Meditations

 

Now on whom dost thou trust?

Isa 36 5

Reader this is an important question. Listen to the Christian's answer and see if it is yours. "On whom dost thou trust?" "I trust says the Christian, in a triune God. I trust the Father believing that He has chosen me from before the foundations of the world; I trust Him to provide for me in providence to teach me to guide me to correct me if need be and to bring me home to His own house where the many mansions are. I trust the Son. Very God of very God is He--the man Christ Jesus. I trust in Him to take away all my sins by His own sacrifice and to adorn me with His perfect righteousness. I trust Him to be my Intercessor to present my prayers and desires before His Father's throne and I trust Him to be my Advocate at the last great day to plead my cause and to justify me. I trust Him for what He is for what He has done and for what He has promised yet to do. And I trust the Holy Spirit--He has begun to save me from my inbred sins; I trust Him to drive them all out; I trust Him to curb my temper to subdue my will to enlighten my understanding to check my passions to comfort my despondency to help my weakness to illuminate my darkness; I trust Him to dwell in me as my life to reign in me as my King to sanctify me wholly spirit soul and body and then to take me up to dwell with the saints in light for ever." Oh blessed trust! To trust Him whose power will never be exhausted whose love will never wane whose kindness will never change whose faithfulness will never fail whose wisdom will never be nonplussed and whose perfect goodness can never know a diminution! Happy art thou reader if this trust is thine! So trusting thou shalt enjoy sweet peace now and glory hereafter and the foundation of thy trust shall never be removed.
