Bring Your Empty Pitcher! - C H Spurgeon

I am the one who helps you, declares the LORD (Isaiah 41:14).

This morning let us hear the Lord Jesus speak to each one of us: "I will help you.


"It is but small thing for Me, your God, to help you. Consider what I have done already.


"What! Not help you? Why, I bought you with my blood.  What! Not help you? I have died for you, and if I have done the greater, will I not do the less? Help you! It is the least thing I will ever do for you' I have done more, and will do more.

"Before the world began I chose you. I made a covenant for you. I laid aside My glory and became a man for you; I gave up My life for you; and if I did all this I will surely help you now.


"In helping you I am giving what I bought for you already. If you had need of a thousand times as much help, I would give it to you; you require little compared with what I am ready to give. It is much for you to need, but it is nothing for Me to bestow.


"Help you? Fear not! If there were an ant at your granary asking for help,  would it ruin you to give him a handful of your wheat? and you are nothing but a tiny insect at the door of My all-sufficiency. I will help you."


O my soul, is this not enough? Do you need more strength than the omnipotence of the united Trinity? Do you want more wisdom than exists in the Father, more love than displays itself in the Son, or more power than is manifest in the influence of the Spirit?

Bring here your empty pitcher! Surely this well will fill it. Hurry, gather up your wants, and bring them here--your emptiness, your woes, your needs. Behold this river of God is full for your supply; what else can you desire? Go forth, my soul, in this your might. The Eternal God is your helper!
