Today’s Quote
God often sends light when we least expect it, turning night into day.
— Matthew Henry
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
In nature, after evening comes night. The sun has journeyed through the sky; the fiery horses are tired and must rest. They descend the blue heavens and plunge their burning hooves into the western sea, while night follows closely behind in her dark chariot. But God goes beyond the rules of nature. He
is pleased to send His people times when reason expects to see no more daylight, fearing that the beautiful landscape of God’s mercies will be covered in the darkness of His forgetfulness. But instead, God overrides nature and declares that in the evening time, instead of darkness, there will be light.

The black shadow of death will soon extinguish your candle. Oh, how sweet it is to have sunlight when the candle is gone! The dark flood will soon roll between you and everything you have on earth; make sure you have treasure in Heaven. Bind your heart
to Him who will never leave you; trust yourself to Him who will go with you through the flood of death, land you safely on Heaven’s shore, and make you sit with Him in the heavenly places forever.
