Words of Love
by C. H. Spurgeon
June 12
The more we dwell alone, the more safe shall we
be. God would have His people separate from sinners, His call to them is, "Come
ye out from among them." A worldly Christian is spiritually diseased. Those
who compromise with Christ's enemies may be reckoned with them.
Our safety lies, not in making terms with the enemy, but in dwelling alone with our
Best Friend. If we do this, we shall dwell in safety despite the sarcasms, the slanders,
and the sneers of the world. We shall be safe from the baleful influence of its unbelief,
its pride, its vanity, its filthiness.
God also will make us dwell in safety alone in that day when sin shall be visited
on the nations by wars and famines.
The LORD brought Abram from Ur of the Chaldees, but Abram stopped halfway. He had
no blessing till, having set out to go to the land of Canaan, to the land of Canaan
he came, He was safe alone even in the midst of foes. Lot was not safe in Sodom though
in a circle of friends. Our safety is in dwelling apart with God.
