A Note from Pastor Keith
November 14, 1999
Here is a beautiful illustration about the blessings of God from one of the great preachers of the Word, Charles Haddon Spurgeon:
A benevolent person gave Mr. Rowland Hill a hundred pounds to dispense to a poor minister a bit at a time, thinking it was too much to send him all at once. Mr. Hill forwarded five pounds in a letter, with only these words within the envelope, "More to follow." In a few days' time, the good man received another letter; this second message contained another five pounds, with the same motto, "And more to follow." Till the whole sum had been received, the astonished minister was made familiar with the cheering words, "And more to follow."
Every blessing that comes from God is sent with the same message, "And more to follow."
"I forgive you your sins, but there's more to follow."
"I justify you in the righteousness of Christ, but there's more to follow."
" I adopted you into my family, but there's more to follow."
"I have educated you for heaven, but there's more to follow."
"I give you grace upon grace, but there's more to follow."
"I have helped you even to old age, but there's still more to follow."
"I will uphold you in the hour of death, and as you are passing into the world of spirits, My mercy shall still continue with you. And when you land in the world to come, there shall still be more to follow."
In His service,
Pastor Keith
