Today’s Quote
The joy of the Lord is rooted in love, a wellspring that never runs dry.
— David Brainerd
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Jesus was known as "a man of sorrows," but deep within, He carried a reservoir of pure, heavenly joy. No one has ever experienced a deeper, more enduring peace than our Lord Jesus Christ. "He was anointed with the oil of gladness above His companions." His immense compassion brought Him the greatest
joy, for true joy comes from love. There were moments when this joy surfaced clearly, like when Jesus "rejoiced in spirit" and praised God, saying, "I thank You, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth."

Amalek attacked Israel, targeting those who were lagging behind. As mature Christians, we have a responsibility to support those who are struggling in their faith, knowledge, and joy. We should not leave them behind but instead, help them move forward.
My soul, keep an eye out to assist those who are falling behind today.
