Today’s Quote
We should sweetly acquiesce in God’s will, in faith that whatever He permits in our life is right and best for us.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Son of Man—whenever He said that word, He shed a halo round the head of Adam's children. Jesus Christ called Himself the Son of man to express His oneness and sympathy with His people. He thus reminds us that He is one whom we may approach without fear. As a man, we may take to Him all our griefs and
troubles, for He knows them by experience; in that He Himself has suffered as the "Son of man," He is able to support and comfort us. All hail, You blessed Jesus! inasmuch as You are evermore using the sweet name which acknowledges that You are a brother and a near kinsman, it is to us a dear token of Your grace, Your humility, Your love.

"Harvest home" is not a joyous shout for the sluggard, who would not plough, and has nothing to reap. What can those hope for who have done nothing for God or their fellow men? The cottager harvests his little patch of corn with rejoicing, and believers
with scanty opportunities shall receive their share of harvest joy; but woe to that man who professes godliness and yet is living for himself; he shall reap of the flesh corruption. What burning sheaves! What a harvest of shame! Will it be yours?
