Not Broken, Not Quenched

by Myra on September 12, 2009


“A bruised reed
shall he not break,
and the smoking flax

shall he not quench.”
(Isaiah 42:3)

“…There is no music in me now; there is a rift which lets out all the melody…Yet Jesus will not break me; and if He will not, then I mind little what others try to do. O sweet and compassionate Lord, I nestle down beneath Thy protection and forget my bruises!

…I perceive that though there were snuffers under the law, there were no extinguishers, and Jesus will not quench me; therefore, I am hopeful. Lord, kindle me anew and cause me to shine forth to Thy glory and to the extolling of Thy tenderness.”

-taken from Spurgeon’s Faith’s Checkbook

That gave way to lovely thoughts of who our God is and what He does for us in our times of need.
