Spurgeon's Morning & Evening
For the Evening of August 8th
"All things are possible to him that believeth." --Mark 9:23
any professed Christians are always doubting and fearing,
and they forlornly think that this is the necessary state of
believers. This is a mistake, for "all things are possible to
him that believeth"; and it is possible for us to mount into a
state in which a doubt or a fear shall be but as a bird of
passage flitting across the soul, but never lingering there.
When you read of the high and sweet communions enjoyed by
favoured saints, you sigh and murmur in the chamber of your
heart, "Alas! these are not for me." O climber, if thou hast but
faith, thou shalt yet stand upon the sunny pinnacle of the
temple, for "all things are possible to him that believeth." You
hear of exploits which holy men have done for Jesus; what they
have enjoyed of Him; how much they have been like Him; how they
have been able to endure great persecutions for His sake; and
you say, "Ah! as for me, I am but a worm; I can never attain to
this." But there is nothing which one saint was, that you may
not be. There is no elevation of grace, no attainment of
spirituality, no clearness of assurance, no post of duty, which
is not open to you if you have but the power to believe. Lay
aside your sackcloth and ashes, and rise to the dignity of your
true position; you are little in Israel because you will be so,
not because there is any necessity for it. It is not meet that
thou shouldst grovel in the dust, O child of a King. Ascend!
The golden throne of assurance is waiting for you! The crown of
communion with Jesus is ready to bedeck your brow. Wrap
yourself in scarlet and fine linen, and fare sumptuously every
day; for if thou believest, thou mayst eat the fat of kidneys of
wheat; thy land shall flow with milk and honey, and thy soul
shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. Gather golden
sheaves of grace, for they await thee in the fields of faith.
"All things are possible to him that believeth."
