Today’s Quote
Wisdom is the art of knowing how to live well.
— Matthew Henry
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Wisdom is humanity's true strength, guiding us to fulfill our purpose. With wisdom, life is more fulfilling, and our abilities are put to their best use. Without wisdom, we are like wild animals running aimlessly, wasting energy that could be used more productively. Wisdom is the compass that guides
us across the uncharted waters of life; without it, we are like a ship adrift, at the mercy of the winds and waves. In this world, a person must be wise, or they will encounter countless troubles.

Conversion is a change of masters. Will we not do as much for our new master, Jesus, as we once did for our old master, sin? We were once eager and obedient servants of sin, giving ourselves completely to it; should we not now be equally committed to
serving righteousness and holiness? Great Lord, help us to serve you with the same passion and dedication with which we once served evil, joyfully submitting to your easy yoke.
