He a fool, who minds his recreation more than his salvation!

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
A person who lives without prayer—a person who prays only a little—who rarely reads the Word—who seldom looks up to Heaven for a fresh touch from above—will become spiritually dry and barren. But the person who calls on God in secret, who spends much time alone with Him, who loves to meditate on the
words of the Most High, whose soul is surrendered to Christ—that person’s heart will overflow, and as their heart is, so will their life be.

The first layer of ice is barely noticeable. Keep the water moving, and you’ll stop the frost from forming; but if you let it sit still, the glaze thickens, and eventually, it becomes so solid that even a wagon could be pulled across it. The same is true
with our conscience; it hardens gradually until it becomes tough and unfeeling, unable to be moved even by the heaviest loads of sin.
