"I want none beside Him. In life He is my life, and in death He shall be the death of death; in poverty Christ is my riches; in sickness He makes my bed; in darkness He is my star, and in brightness He is my sun; He is the manna of the camp in the wilderness, and He shall be the new corn of the host when they come to Canaan. Jesus is to me all grace and no wrath, all truth and no falsehood: and of truth and grace He is full, infinitely full."- a quote by Spurgeon
Well as I sit in our hotel room in the great city of Nashville, all my thoughts are consumed with this job interview I have in a few minutes. It is at a pediatric dental office and I am pretty nervous! I usually try to read the morning and evening devotions and tonight's devotion has this quote (above) included in it. I love this! I love how it contrasts the sin/darkness/pain of life with the gloriousness of Himself. What an incentive to rely on Him...not just in death or darkness, but in life. even in brightness- He is my SUN. How I need Him and desire to lean on Him and address my concerns to Him daily.
