Dare 2B Daring – August 12, 2014 A daily devotional published by Risk Takers for Christ, Inc. (Permission granted to reprint with proper attribution.) “But there is nothing which one saint was, that you may not be.” – C.H. Spurgeon As noted many times before, I am a big fan of Frank Sinatra’s music, Jack Nicklaus’ golf, Ronald Reagan’s politics and Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s theology. In fact, there are times when Spurgeon’s teachings are so spot-on that I simply want to clamp my mouth shut and nod approvingly in his direction. This is one of those times… “There is 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 shouldest 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 mayest eat the fat of kidneys of wheat; thy land shall flow with milk and honey, and thy soul shall be satisfied with marrow and fatness. Gather golden sheaves of grace, for they await thee in the fields of faith.” No, Spurgeon is not preaching a prosperity gospel like so many modern-day false prophets. On the contrary, he is simply reminding us to stop limiting what God can do – and wants to do – in and through us. Because we have been created in His very image and likeness, we have unlimited God-given potential. So let’s start using it for His glory instead of burying our talents in the ground like the evil, wicked and lazy servant in Matthew 25. “All things are possible to him that believeth.” Mark 9:23 (KJV) - Rev. Dale M. Glading, President
