Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Whatever we ask for or avoid in prayer, we should also seek or avoid in our actions. We should carefully avoid temptation and strive to walk obediently. We shouldn’t go looking for danger. The lion of temptation may cross our path or leap upon us unexpectedly, but it’s not our job to seek it out. Even
if we win against it, it will be a hard battle. Let Christians pray to be spared such encounters. Our Savior, who knew what temptation was like, earnestly warned his disciples: "Pray that you do not enter into temptation."

Those who are deeply immersed in worldly pleasures can’t appreciate the sweetness of a heavenly life. If they enjoy the fruits of sin, they won’t value the blessings of righteousness. A dog can’t judge the value of jewels—throw him a bone, and he’ll prefer
it over the finest diamond. When people mock us for our godliness, we shouldn’t be upset; instead, we should pity them for missing out on the noble qualities that would teach them better.
