Heart Communing
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
2 Chronicles 9:1-12
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem…
We have in Christ one greater than Solomon.
I. WE OUGHT TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIM OF ALL THAT IS IN OUR HEART. Neglect of intercourse with Jesus —
1. Is very unkind.
2. Betrays the sad fact of something wrong.
3. Shows a want of confidence in His love, sympathy, and wisdom.
4. Will be the cause of uneasiness in ourselves.
5. Will involve the loss of counsel and help.
6. Is greatly aggravated by eagerness to tell our troubles to others.
II. WE NEED NOT CEASE COMMUNING FOR WANT OF TOPICS.
1. Our sorrows.
2. Our joys.
3. Our service.
4. Our plans.
5. Our success and failures.
6. Our desires.
7. Our fears.
8. Our lives.
9. Our mysteries.
III. NOR SHALL WE CEASE COMMUNING FOR WANT OF REASONS. Intercourse with Christ —
1. Is ennobling and elevating.
2. Consoling and encouraging.
3. Sanctifying and refining.
4. Safe and healthy.
5. Delightful and heavenly.
