Today’s Quote
The greatest judgment God lays upon a man in this life, is to let him sin without hindrance.
— Thomas Watson
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
This is no unusual occurrence; it is the general rule of the moral universe that those men prosper who do their work with all their hearts, while those are almost certain to fail who go to their labor leaving half their hearts behind them. God does not give harvests to idle men, except harvests of thistles,
nor is he pleased to send wealth to those who will not dig in the field to find its hid treasure. It is universally confessed that if a man would prosper, he must be diligent in business. It is the same in religion as it is in other things. If you would prosper in your work for Jesus, let it be heart work, and let it be done with all your heart.

Yes, there are peculiar dangers in fine summer weather, from which we were free in winter. "It is the bright day that brings forth the adder." Fear and tremble you who abound with wealth, for yours is a post of peril, though you think not so. "The path
is smooth that leads unto danger." Men in trouble ask our prayers, but those without trouble need them more. Let us pray.
