CHRISTIAN QUOTE OF THE DAY
“God abides forever the same, always a sure refuge for the needy.”
— C. H. Spurgeon
Source: “The Stronghold” — sermon on Nahum 1:7
Charles Spurgeon spoke these words while preaching on Nahum 1:7, a verse that describes God as “a stronghold in the day of trouble.”
His words point toward one of the great comforts of Christian faith:
God does not change with our circumstances.
Our lives can change quickly.
Plans can shift.
Trouble can arrive unexpectedly.
Things we thought were secure can suddenly feel uncertain.
Yet God remains the same.
Spurgeon describes him as “a sure refuge for the needy.”
That word “sure” matters.
Our confidence is not based upon everything around us becoming stable.
It rests in the character of God.
We may come to him tired.
We may come uncertain.
We may come without knowing how a situation will be resolved.
But we can still come.
God remains a refuge for those who need him.
Quote Reflection
Circumstances can change quickly, but the character of God does not.
Spurgeon reminds us that God remains a sure refuge for those who need him. When life feels unstable, we can rest in the One who remains the same.
