What doubt will not be slain by this two-edged sword? What fear is there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God&#8217;s covenant? Will not the distresses of life and the pangs of death; will not the corruptions within, and the snares without; will not the trials from above, and the temptations from beneath, all seem but light afflictions, when we can hide ourselves beneath the bulwark of &#8216;He hath said&#8217;? Yes; whether for delight in our quietude, or for strength in our conflict, &#8216;He hath said&#8217; must be our daily resort.<\/p>\n<p>And this may teach us the extreme value of <em>searching<\/em> the Scriptures. There may be a promise in the Word which would exactly fit your case, but you may not know of it, and therefore you miss its comfort. You are like prisoners in a dungeon, and there may be one key in the bunch which would unlock the door, and you might be free; but if you will not look for it, you may remain a prisoner still, though liberty is so near at hand. There may be a potent medicine in the great pharmacopoeia of Scripture, and you may yet continue sick unless you will examine and search the Scriptures to discover what &#8216;He hath said.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Should you not, besides reading the Bible, store your memories richly with the promises of God? You can recollect the sayings of great men; you treasure up the verses of renowned poets; ought you not to be profound in your knowledge of the words of God, so that you may be able to quote them readily when you would solve a difficulty, or overthrow a doubt? Since &#8216;He hath said&#8217; is the source of all wisdom, and the fountain of all comfort, let it dwell in you richly, as &#8216;A well of water, springing up unto everlasting life.&#8217; So shall you grow healthy, strong, and happy in the divine life.<\/p>\n<p>2.21a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Charles Haddon Spurgeon From Hebrews 13:5 If we can only grasp these words by faith, we have an all-conquering weapon in our hand.
