Spurgeon’s Daily Help
From the cross of Calvary, where Jesus’ bleeding hands drop mercy, from the garden of Gethsemane, the cry comes, "Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth." From Calvary’s peak, where Jesus cries, "It is finished," I hear the shout, "Look, and be saved." But there’s a cry from within us that
says, "No, look to yourself! Look to yourself!" Ah, but if you look to yourself, you’ll be lost. As long as you’re focused on yourself, there’s no hope for you. It’s not about considering who you are, but about considering who God is and who Christ is—that’s what can save you.

The songs you’re yet to sing, the sweet grapes of Eshcol you’re yet to pick, the joyful days you’re yet to experience—let your hope give you a taste of them now. Snatch a blazing torch from the altars of the future to light up the darkness of today. Safety
on earth, and after death, the fullness of Heaven, are our guaranteed portion, so let’s sing to the Lord the song of hope.
