A very present help.
Psalm 46:1
"Covenant blessings are not meant to be looked at only, but to be appropriated. Even our Lord Jesus is given to us for our present use. Believer, thou dost not make use of Christ as thou oughtest to do.
*When thou art in trouble, why dost thou not tell Him all thy grief? Has He not a sympathizing heart, and can He not comfort and relieve thee? No, thou art going about to all thy friends, save thy best Friend, and telling thy tale everywhere except into the bosom of thy Lord.
*Art thou burdened with this day's sins? Here is a fountain filled with blood: use it, saint, use it. The pardoning grace of Jesus may
be proved again and again.
* Dost thou deplore thy weakness? He is thy strength: why not lean upon Him?
* Dost thou feel thyself sick? Pull the night-bell of prayer, and call up the Beloved Physician!
There is nothing Christ dislikes more than for His people to make a show-thing of Him, and not to use Him. He loves to be employed by us. The more burdens we put on His shoulders, the more precious will He be to us."
Charles Spurgeon
