Feasting on the Psalms: A Five-Day Devotional Featuring Insights From Charles SpurgeonSample

An Exuberant Declaration of Faith
“My enemies and foes.” There were many of them; they were of different sorts, but they were unanimous in mischief and hearty in hatred. “When the wicked came against me”—advanced to the attack, leaping upon the victim like a lion upon its prey. “To eat up my flesh”—like cannibals, they would make a full end of the man, tear him limb from limb, and make a feast for their malice. The enemies of our souls are not deficient in ferocity: they yield no quarter and ought to have none in return. See in what danger David was—in the grip and grasp of numerous, powerful, and cruel enemies—and yet observe his perfect safety and their utter discomfiture! “They stumbled and fell.” God’s breath blew them off their legs. There were stones in the way that they never reckoned upon, and over these, they made an ignominious tumble. This was literally true in the case of our Lord in Gethsemane when those who came to take Him went backward and fell to the ground, and in this, He was a prophetic representative of all wrestling believers who, rising from their knees, shall by the power of faith throw their foes upon their faces.

About this Plan

For generations, the Psalms have been a source of comfort and hope, giving voice to our desire to love God faithfully, our need for his strength, and our longing to see His kingdom come. They are, as C.H. Spurgeon said, a banquet for the soul. In this five-day plan, adapted from "Spurgeon and the Psalms," feast upon select psalms alongside devotional wisdom from "the prince of preachers."
