Temporal Blessings the Guarantee of Spiritual – Charles Spurgeon

YOU call at a friend’s house—you are riding on horseback; he takes your horse into the stable, and is remarkably attentive to it—the creature is well groomed, well housed, well fed; you are not at all afraid that you will be shut out, there is surely a warm place in the parlor for the rider, where the horse is so well attended to in the stable. Now, your body, which I might liken to the horse, has had its temporal prosperity in abundance, and surely the Lord will take care of your soul if you seek his face! Let your prayer be, “My God, my Father, be my guide. Since you have dealt so well with me in these external matters, give me grace within my heart, give me the true riches, give me to love your Son and trust in him to be henceforth your child. You have given me the nether springs, give me to drink of the upper springs.”
