August 5 Today’s Verse Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. (KJV) just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” (BSB)

Today’s Quote Humility is the soul’s greatest crown, modeled perfectly by Christ. — Thomas Watson

Spurgeon’s Daily Help Our Master frequently used the title, the "Son of Man." He could have called Himself the Son of God, the Everlasting Father, the Wonderful Counselor, the Prince of Peace, but look at the humility of Jesus! He preferred to call Himself the Son of Man. Let’s learn humility from our Savior. Jesus loved

humanity so much that He delighted in honoring it. Since it’s a high honor, indeed the greatest dignity, that Jesus is the Son of Man, He often used this name to highlight the love of God for Abraham’s descendants. Public domain content from Daily Help by Charles Spurgeon.

The Spurgeon Birthday Book August 5 Don’t say, “I’ll seek communion with God when I feel better,” but desire communion with Him now. It’s a temptation from the devil to tell you not to read the promises when you’re feeling downcast. Instead, read them even more. When you feel the least

like praying, pray more because that’s when you need it most. And when you don’t feel like coming to God, cry out, “My God, I must be in a terrible state, or else I would have a stronger desire for You. So, I won’t rest until I find You and come to You.” Public domain content from The Spurgeon Birthday Book by Charles Spurgeon
