QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Not to give God our spirit(ual worship) is a great sin.  It is a mockery of God, not worship, contempt, not adoration, whatever our outward fervency or protestations may be.  Every alienation of our hearts from Him is a real scorn put upon Him.  The acts of the soul are real, and more the acts of the man than the acts of the body; because they are the acts of the choicest part of man, and of that which is the first spring of all bodily motions; it is the internal speech whereby we must speak to God.  To give Him, therefore, only an external form of worship without the life of it, is taking His name in vain.
Stephen Charnock, The Attributes of God, pg.263

Know How To Wait

He that believeth shall not make haste - Isaiah 28:16

He shall make haste to keep the Lord's commandments; but he shall not make haste in any impatient or improper sense.

He shall not haste to run away, for he shall not be overcome with the fear which causes panic. When others are flying hither and thither as if their wits had failed them, the believer shall be quiet, calm, and deliberate, and so shall be able to act wisely in the hour of trial.

He shall not haste in his expectations, craving his good things at once and on the spot, but he will wait God's time. Some are in a desperate hurry to have the bird in the hand, for they regard the Lord's promise as a bird in the bush, not likely to be theirs. Believers know how to wait. .

He shall not haste by plunging into wrong or questionable action. Unbelief must be doing something, and thus it works its own undoing; but faith makes no more haste than good speed, and thus it is not forced to go back sorrowfully by the way which it followed heedlessly.

How is it with me? Am I believing, and am I therefore keeping to the believer's pace, which is walking with God? Peace, fluttering spirit! Oh, rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him! Heart, see that thou do this at once!

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
