Welcome to CViE in 2022

No one knows what the Lord has in His purposes in 2022, but we look forward in faith to His providential care for His people, and we pray for His favour upon the endeavour of CViE.

From Morning and Evening by C.S. Spurgeon:

“We will be glad and rejoice in Thee. (Song of Solomon 1:4) We will not open the gates of the year to the dolorous notes of the sackbut, but to the sweet strains of the harp of joy, and the high sounding cymbals of gladness.

O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise unto the rock of our salvation. (Psalm 95:1) We will be glad and rejoice: two words with one sense, double joy, blessedness upon blessedness. What heavens are laid up in Jesus! What rivers of infinite bliss have their source, aye, and every drop of their fulness in him! Since, O sweet Lord Jesus, thou art the present portion of thy people, favour us this year with such a sense of thy preciousness, that from its first to its last day we may be glad and rejoice in thee.

Let January open with joy in the Lord, and December close with gladness in Jesus.”
