Prosperity, Removal of—The Voice of God – Charles Spurgeon

CHILDREN of God, have you been living at a distance from your Father? The silver bell rings this morning, and invites you to return. An angel voice cries, “Come back! come back! come back!” Will you not answer, “I will arise and go to my Father”? Have you had a little prosperity, a thriving time in business, and have you ungratefully forgotten the God who gave you this? Oh! now that the prosperity is for awhile removed, out of the darkness let the voice of long-suffering mercy be heard, for it calls to you, “Return unto me, backsliding child, return.” It shall be good for you to acquaint yourself with God now; though you have lost the privilege of communion for awhile, the privilege has not lost its sweetness; it will bring you countless blessings to approach your God.
