Daily Devotion: No Stranger in Heaven

**December 31** 
This is SO relevant to the New Years Eve sermon. PTL [Praise the Lord] God was on the move last night/this morning. Guess that's why I'm still up. 

Faith's Checkbook

Thou shalt guide me with Thy Counsel, and afterward receive me to glory" -Psalm 73:24
 
From day to day and from year to year my faith believes in the wisdom and love of God, and I know that I shall not believe in vain. No good word of His has ever failed, and I am sure that none shall ever fall to the ground.

I put myself into His hand for guidance. I know not the way that I should choose: the LORD shall choose mine inheritance for me. I need counsel and advice; for my duties are intricate, and my condition is involved. The counsel of the infallible God I seek in preference to my own judgment or the advice of friends.

Soon the end will come: a few more years and I must depart out of this world unto the Father. My LORD will be near my bed. He will meet me at heaven's gate: He will welcome me to the gloryland. I shall not be a stranger in heaven: my own God and Father will receive me to its endless bliss.

-Charles H. Spurgeon
