warriors, horses and false hope

The king is not saved by a mighty army;
a warrior is not delivered by great strength.
A horse is a false hope for victory;
nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.

psalm 33:16-17

looking for security in an unstable world? go to the rock that's higher than you.

Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, now I will arise, says the Lord. I will set him in the safety for which he longs.  Psalm 12:5

of every love, the best

 “Come in, O strong and deep love of Jesus, like the sea at the flood in spring tides, cover all my powers, drown all my sins, wash out all my cares, lift up my earth-bound soul, and float it right up to my Lord’s feet, and there let me lie, a poor broken shell, washed up by his love, having no virtue or value; and only venturing to whisper to him that if he will put his ear to me, he will hear within my heart faint echoes of the vast waves of his own love which have brought me where it is my delight to lie, even at his feet forever.”  

 -Charles Spurgeon
