Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 119:65

A servant's story.

1. Although he knew my faults he engaged me.

2. Although I am so far beneath him, yet he familiarly teaches me.

3. Although I am always ailing, he is very kind to me in my afflictions.

4. Although I am one of the meanest of his servants, he permits me to feast his own table.

5. Although I do little work, he will pay me good

6. Although I am to have such great wages, I have very many perquisites.

7. Although my Master is all this to me (can you believe it?) I murmur and repine at him if he crosses me in anything. Application:

(a) Does the word: servant "sound like a misnomer?" "not servants...but I have called you friends."

(b) Though he calls me "friend, "I shall never cease to call him "Master." Richard Andrew Griffin, in "Stems and Twigs."
