If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know my love for Charles Spurgeon. God used him in mighty ways–so powerful, in fact, that I cannot imagine the humility Spurgeon expresses here. In fact, if Spurgeon felt this way about himself, how much more is this the case for me . . . and how much more I’m grateful for God’s grace this day!
“I have often been surprised at the mercy of God to myself. Poor sermons of mine, that I could cry over when I get home, have led scores to the cross; and, more wonderful still, words that I have spoken in ordinary conversation, mere chance sentences, as men call them, have nevertheless been as winged arrows from God, and have pierced men’s hearts, and laid them wounded at Jesus’ feet. I have often lifted up my hands in astonishment, and said, ‘How can God bless such a feeble instrumentality?’”
May you and I be astonished today that God uses us.
