Today’s Quote
People do their country more service by pleading for it in prayer than by finding fault with things they have no power to alter!

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
The lives of some of God’s people are astonishing. God uses amazing ways to find and save His chosen ones, and once He finds them, He never lets them go. His power and wisdom ensure that none are lost. They are called "Sought Out," and that’s a name of grace beyond measure! The fact that anyone is sought
out by God is incredible, but that we are sought out is grace upon grace! We can only marvel and praise the Lord that we are known as "Sought Out."

It’s not the beauty of the earth that defiles us, as some overly spiritual people might claim. Neither does honest work interfere with holiness. Sin and evil come from within people, not from nature. Without moral evil, the earth could be a reflection
of Heaven, and our work could prepare us for eternity.
