Today’s Quote
The fragrance of Christ in mature believers refreshes and inspires those who seek His redeeming love.
— J.R. Miller
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Elderly saints who have grown in their faith have such a sweet fragrance of Christ in them that their conversation is refreshing to those who love hearing about the glories of redeeming love. They have tested the anchor in the storm, worn the armor in battle, and found shelter under the great rock in
the scorching heat. That’s why they talk about these things and about Him who is all these to them. We must go through the same experiences if we want to bring back the same treasures.

The sensitive plant begins to fold up its leaves as soon as it’s touched. Touch it again, and the little branches droop until it stands bare, like the stripped poles of a ship. It seems as if it would shrink into nothing to avoid being touched. We should
be the same way in this world, sensitive to the touch of sin and grieved by the approach of evil.

Spurgeon’s Quote
We should shrink from sin as a sensitive plant folds its leaves at the slightest touch.
