Spurgeon’s Daily Help
"Can you bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?"
He looses the bands of Orion, and none but he. What a blessing it is that he can do it! O that he would perform the wonder tonight! Lord, end my winter, and let my spring begin. I cannot, with all my longings, raise my soul
out of her death and dullness, but all things are possible with you. I need celestial influences, the clear shinings of your love, the beams of your grace, the light of your countenance; these are the Pleiades to me. I suffer much from sin and temptation; these are my wintry signs, my terrible Orion. Lord, work wonders in me, and for me. Amen.

To perish in mid ocean seems not so hard a lot as to die with the white cliffs of Albion just before you: to die with the gospel ringing in our ears is still more sad. Never reckon the ship safe until it floats in the haven; never reckon a soul saved
until it is actually "in Christ." The "almost persuaded" are often the last to be fully persuaded.
