Today’s Quote
The light of God chases away even the deepest shadows of despair.
— Richard Sibbes
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
You may have sunk low in despair, but if your soul still longs for Christ and you’re seeking to rest in His finished work, God sees that “light” in you. He not only sees it but also preserves it. “I, the Lord, keep it.” Sometimes we can’t see the light, but God always sees it, and that’s even better.
If the Lord has given you light, He looks on it with special interest, not only because it’s His own creation but because it reflects His nature, for “He is light.”

Darkness is better suited for beasts than for people, and those who love darkness rather than light are like animals. When ignorance covers a nation, all kinds of superstitions, cruelties, and vices thrive. The gospel, like the rising sun, quickly drives
out these monsters, and they seek more suitable places to live. Spread the light of the gospel if you want to keep the Roman wolf from our doors.
