Read the “0310 Evening and Morning” devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
“The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.” (Deuteronomy 29:29)
“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” (Psalm 12:6-7)
Good morning. Isn’t it great to have your own copy of the revealed Word of God, a King James Bible: the Authorized Bible: the Bible that God has preserved for those who speak the English language? These are the things that God revealed to us and our children: pure words. God has purified His words seven times…

“The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.” (Deuteronomy 29:29)
Not only did God give us His Word, but He also preserved it. The King James Bible has God’s truth that He wants all of us, and are children to know, forever. What if you had to cast out a demon from someone. And if you look at the world today, you know there are many demons running around. The devil knows his time is short. There was a demon that even the disciples could not cast out. The NIV bible explains…
“After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.”” (NIV Mark 9:28-29)
What does the King James Bible have to say?
“And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.” (Mark 9:28-29)
Oops! Something is missing from the Non-Inspired Version. It took away your power of fasting. Is there any wonder that the world is in the shape it’s in today. But God had a reason to reveal and preserve His Word…
“…that we may do all the words of this law.” (Deuteronomy 29:29)
“And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” (2Timothy 3:15-17)
The first thing God wants you to do is get saved. According to Ephesians 2:8-10, salvation comes first and then you will be able do the good works that God had ordained you to walk in…
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:8-10)
You are saved by grace through faith…
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17)
And in the Word of God He revealed that…
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one…” (Romans 3:10)
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God…” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned…” (Romans 5:12″
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:8-13)
And God wants to let you know that once your are saved, you are saved forever…
“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:37-40)
Hold on to the Words that God has revealed to us. They are for us to keep, to cling to forever, and to our children.
Peace.
