This (below) is taken from a devotion by Charles Spurgeon for today. Consider where we are going and what we will need to accomplish His will on the mission field. What is it that you need from God, a fresh work in your life. Never take this out of context to believe that God will give us things we do not really need but do take it to heart that God didn't withhold the most precious thing from us so why would He withhold anything?
What you need is fresh work from Him in your life, that changes you. Will you believe that He will do that even before we depart for Merida? Then what treasure you might you add to that in the spiritual realm?
Feb. 3 HE FREELY GIVES
"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all thing?" Rom. 8:32
If this is not a promise in form, it is in fact. Indeed, it is more than one promise, it is a conglomerate of promises. It is a mass of rubies, and emeralds, and diamonds, with a nugget of gold for their setting. It is a question which can never be answered so as to cause us any anxiety of heart. What can the Lord deny us after giving us Jesus? If we need all things in Heaven and earth, He will grant them to us: for if there had been a limit anywhere, He would have kept back His own Son.
What do I want today? I have only to ask for it. I may seek earnestly, but not as if I had to use pressure, and extort an unwilling gift from the Lord's hand; for He will give freely. Of His own will, He gave us His own Son. Certainly no one would have proposed such a gift to Him. No one would have ventured to ask for it. It would have been too presumptuous. He freely gave His Only-begotten; and, O my soul, canst thou not trust thy heavenly Father to give thee anything, to give thee everything? Thy poor prayer would have no force with Omnipotence if force were needed; but His love, like a spring, rises of itself, and overflows for the supply of all thy needs.
