Divine reaffirmation...

If you check my last 2 posts on Nov.12, you will see I shared on God watching us and fruitfulness as we abide in Christ. These 2 lessons came from the Beth Moore study. Well, God decided I needed some reaffirmation and along came my Spurgeon devotionals for today, and, well...you read for yourself the excerpts [http://bible.christiansunite.com/devotionals.shtml]...
...Isn't our God just cool and divine?...

The Unfailing Watch
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. (Psalm 121:4) Jehovah is "the Keeper of Israel."... He never fails to watch the house and the heart of His people. This is a sufficient reason for our resting in perfect peace... When we lie defenseless, Jehovah Himself will cover our head. The Lord keeps His people as a rich man keeps his treasure, as a captain keeps a city with a garrison, as a sentry keeps watch over his sovereign. None can harm those who are in such keeping. Let me put my soul into His dear hands. He never forgets us, never ceases actively to care for us, never finds Himself unable to preserve us. O my Lord, keep me, lest I wander and fall and perish. Keep me, that I may keep Thy commandments. By Thine unslumbering care prevent my sleeping like the sluggard and perishing like those who sleep the sleep of death.

"The branch cannot bear fruit of itself."-John 15:4
When have you been the most fruitless? Has not it been when you have lived farthest from the Lord Jesus Christ, when you have slackened !in prayer, when you have departed from the simplicity of your faith, when your graces have engrossed your attention instead of your Lord, when you have said, "My mountain standeth firm, I shall never be moved"; and have forgotten where your strength dwells-has not it been then that your fruit has ceased? Some of us have been taught that we have nothing out of Christ, by terrible abasements of heart before the Lord; and when we have seen the utter barrenness and death of all creature power, we have cried in anguish, "From Him all my fruit must be found, for no fruit can ever come from me." We are taught, by past experience, that the more simply we depend upon the grace of God in Christ, and wait upon the Holy Spirit, the more we shall bring forth fruit unto God. Oh! to trust Jesus for fruit as well as for life.

Thank You, Father.
