Another Word from Spurgeon

Although Spurgeon was used for last week's post, when I read today's daily help, I had to share; I will save my post for next week although I did put some comments at the end of this short reading. Enjoy:

The great King, immortal, invisible, the Divine person, called the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit: it is he that quickens the soul, or else it would lie dead for ever; it is he that makes it tender, or else it would never feel; it is he that imparts efficacy to the Word preached, or else it could never reach further than the ear; it is he who breaks the heart, it is he who makes it whole. There dwells upon this earth a mysterious Being, whose office is to renew the fallen and restore the wandering. We cannot see Him, or hear Him, yet He dwells in some of us as Lord of our nature. His chosen residence is a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Sent from the Daily Help Devotional.

I am so impacted by what Charles Spurgeon said here. The Holy Spirit is truly at liberty in our lives when we take the place of being contrite and broken (Psalm 51:17). We can never fully understand the power of humility, brokenness and sincerity, but they are what our Father in Heaven is after. Our fulfillment of His will depends on us continuing to be broken and contrite in all things. It's then that we humble ourselves to truly worship Him and obey His words.

Have a great day walking with our Heavenly Father!
