Me:
To end my day in chat, I posted a devotional by Spurgeon. I just pulled up todays devotional, not knowing the subject matter, and was amazed at how well it applied to us in chat.
Spurgeon:
Tell me where you lost the company of Christ, and I will tell you the most likely place to find Him. Have you lost Christ in the closet by restraining prayer? Then it is there you must seek and find Him. Did you lose Christ by sin? You will find Christ in no other way but by the giving up of the sin, and seeking by the Holy Spirit to mortify the member in which the lust doth dwell. Did you lose Christ by neglecting the Scriptures? You must find Christ in the Scriptures.
Me:
This little bit of Spurgeons devotional reminded me of all those who have come in crying out that they feel apart from Christ. (And yes, me too at times.) When we feel apart from the Lord, we need to turn to Him all the more. Pray, even if it doesnt seem to do any good. Read the bible even though we may not feel like reading. And turn our backs on sin. Keep Him as our focus.
Great stuff in that devotional today. How to stay in Christ.
