Blessed Trust

 Now on whom dost thou trust? Isaiah 36:5
"READER, this is an important question. Listen to the Christian's answer, and see if it is yours. 
"On whom dost thou trust?
"I trust," says the Christian, "in the Father, .... I trust Him to provide for me in providence, to teach me, to guide me, to correct me if need be, and to bring me home to His own house where the many mansions are
 
I trust the Son. I trust in Him to take away all my sins by His own sacrifice, and to adorn me with His perfect righteousness. I trust Him to be my Intercessor, to present my prayers and desires before His Father's throne, and I trust Him to be my Advocate at the last great day, to plead my cause, and to justify me. I trust Him for what He is, for what He has done, and for what He has promised yet to do. 
 
And I trust the Holy SpiritI trust Him to curb my temper, to subdue my will, to enlighten my understanding, to check my passions, to comfort my despondency, to help my weakness, to illuminate my darkness;..."
 
Oh, blessed trust!" 
Charles Spurgeon
