Pride is a subtle sin, it creeps into our pious duties before we are aware!
— Matthew Henry
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
The most important part of life isn’t the end but the beginning. Our death is shaped by our past, but our early years shape our future. In their final moments, people often call for solemn thoughts, but it’s too late for them to make a difference. The quietness, the awe, and the far-off gaze that come
at the end of life should have come much sooner. We should follow the example of the Hebrew king who fasted and wore sackcloth while his child was still alive, knowing that there’s no point in mourning after the end has come. “Can I bring him back again?” is one of life’s most serious questions.

Nothing is made in vain. Even if no human lips drink from a brook in a lonely valley, other creatures find refreshment there. Is that nothing? Must everything exist only for humans, or else be wasted? God doesn’t think so. Only our pride and selfishness
could suggest such a thought. It’s not true that flowers that bloom unseen are wasting their beauty because bees find them, and other winged creatures live on their nectar.
