Charles Spurgeon offers a simple, but profoundly life-giving word in February 25th’s morning devotion:
It is pleasant to pass over a country after a storm has spent itself; to smell the freshness of the herbs after the rain has passed away, and to note the drops while they glisten like purest diamonds in the sunlight. That is the position of a Christian. He is going through a land where the storm has spent itself upon his Savior’s head…
My friend, enjoy the peace of knowing that, for you, the storm of God’s wrath against your sin has passed. On the cross, Jesus had become your sin and endured your punishment till its end. There is no more wrath left for you, only peace. As Paul said, “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).
