Not in the Workmen

By Spurgeon

NOT IN THE WORKMEN.—God often appears in glory to me as one of his builders, and I will tell you in what respect. When I have been sitting to see inquirers, I have sometimes found that God has blessed to the conversion of souls, some of my worst sermons—those which I thought I could weep over, which seemed more than ordinarily weak, and lacking in all the elements likely to make them blessed, except that they were sincerely spoken. When I have seen that work was done, though the workman, naturally weak, was on that occasion more than usually depressed with infirmity, I have only been able to lift my hands and say, “Now, Lord, thou appearest in thy glory, since thou dost build up Zion, and convert sinners by the most unlikely means, and the truth, when apparently the most feebly spoken, works the mightiest results; this is to make thy name glorious indeed.”—Spurgeon.
