There are people, who are blessed by the Lord. There are people, the Lord is speaking to. Those people are filled with the joy of the Lord. Those people have something to say.

That’s what happened to me on the tenth of March this month, here in Kaitaia. That’s actually the reason, why I am writing down the following.

I picked up my favourite devotional book “Morning and Evening” – “Daily Readings.” I read the evening portion ( Job 14:1) and the Lord put new life into me, while reading it. That’s also the reason, why I read that portion several times. The Lord blessed me. The Lord spoke to me. The Lord refreshed me. Praise His name!

By now you probably know, that that devotional book was written by C. H. Spurgeon. I have also another book, which briefly summarizes the Life of Spurgeon. He was born in 1834, and died at the age of 58 in 1892. All his books where written before 1892. – Dead people don’t write books! – Also the devotional book mentioned above was written 117 years ago, probably in London.

Spurgeon probably never had in mind, to bless me with that portion of writing here in Kaitaia, at the other end of the world, on the tenth of March 2009 – but the Lord Jesus Christ did.

I marvel about things like that. Are you going to marvel with me?
