      A Trustworthy Name
      C.H. Spurgeon
      Jun 8, 2007


June 9

"I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they
shall trust in the Name of the LORD" (Zephaniah 3:12).

When true religion is ready to die out among the wealthy it finds a home among
the poor of this world, rich in faith. The LORD has even now His faithful
remnant. Am I one of them?

Perhaps it is because men are afflicted and poor that they learn to trust in
the name of the LORD. He that hath no money must try what he can do on trust.
He whose own name is good for nothing in his own esteem, acts wisely to rest in
another name, even that best of names, the name of Jehovah. God wilt always
have a trusting people, and these will be an afflicted and poor people. Little
as the world thinks of them, their being left in the midst of a nation is the
channel of untold blessings to it. Here we have the conserving salt which keeps
in check the corruption which is in the world through lust.

Again the question comes home to each one of us. Am I one of them? Am I
afflicted by the sin within me and around me? Am I poor in spirit, poor
spiritually in my own judgment? Do I trust in the LORD? This is the main
business. Jesus reveals the name, the character, the person of God; am I
trusting in Him? If so, I am left in this world for a purpose. LORD, help me to
fulfill it.


=================================================================
Begone Unbelief

1. Begone unbelief, My Savior is near, And for my relief Will surely appear: By
faith let me wrestle, with God in the storm And help me my Savior, the faith to
adorn And help me my Savior, the faith to adorn

2. Though dark be my way, Since he is my guide, 'Tis mine to obey, and His to
provide; Though cisterns be broken, And creatures all fail, The word he has
spoken will surely prevail. The word he has spoken will surely prevail.

Chorus
Begone unbelief, The Savior is here (3x) Though cisterns be broken And
creatures all fail The word he has spoken will surely prevail The word he has
spoken will surely prevail

3. Why should I complain, Of want or distress Temptation or pain? He told me no
less The heirs of salvation, I know from his word Through much tribulation Must
follow their Lord Through much tribulation Must follow their Lord Chorus

4. Since all that I meet will work for my good, The bitter is sweet, The
medicine food; Though painful at present, will cease before long, And then, O!
how glorious, The conqueror's song! And then, O! how glorious, The conqueror's
song! Chorus
