Thoughts from Spurgeon

Thanks to B.Coop I’ve been enjoying some sermons by C H Spurgeon, and just wanted to share something that hit me hard as I read it.

The sermon I am reading through is speaking of the immutability of God, or the fact that God does not change. And in one section he begins to set forth the argument that God does not change his plans. He begins to go through reasons that man’s plan may change, but God is not restricted to the same boundaries. After all, could he ever run out of supplies? run out of time? not have enough power? that God doesn’t have a plan?

God has a plan, an unalterable plan that will be accomplished. There is nothing to prevent him from changing any of his plans. So I’m reading all this, and enjoying the thoughts, and then Spurgeon drops this:

…ye may change your plans, but he shall never, never change his. Then has he told me his plan is to save me? If so, I am safe.

And ends it with this thought:

My name from the palms of his hands eternity will not erase; Impress’d on his heart it remains, in marks of indelible grace.
