Words of Love
by C. H. Spurgeon
March 1
Possibly this text may not apply to one in a thousand
of the readers of this little book of promises; but the LORD cheers that one in such
words as these. Let us pray for all such as are cast out wrongfully born the society
which they love. May the LORD appear to their joy!
The text applies to truly gracious men who tremble at the word of the LORD. These
were hated of their brethren and at length cast out because of their fidelity and
their holiness. This must have been very bitter to them; and all the more so because
their casting out was done in the name of religion, and professedly with the view
of glorifying God. How much is done for the devil in the name of God! The use of
the name of Jehovah to add venom to the bite of the old serpent is an instance of
his subtlety.
The appearing of the LORD for them is the hope of His persecuted people. He appears
as the advocate and defender of His elect; and when He does so it means a clear deliverance
for the God-fearing and shame for their oppressors. O LORD, fulfill this word to
those whom men are deriding!
