Me: Days of rest are too be enjoyed.

Prodigal: Yes, they are.

This is from C.H. Spurgeon

Why is it that some people are often in a place of worship and yet they’re not holy? It is because they neglect their prayer closets. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the field to gather it; the fruit hangs on the tree, but they will not pluck it; and the water flows at their feet, but they’ll not stoop to drink it.

We sometimes are deceived by Satan that his artificial fruit and temptations are so much better than what God wants to give us. We think God takes too long. We think that God has not figured out everything like we have. We forget God sees our weakness more clearly than we do. Satan sees our weakness also. So it is then we trust God and follow after His fruit even when it seems we are suffering by doing so.

Psalms 23:4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Jennifer Van Allen
