Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Many can bring the Scriptures to mind, but only the Lord can prepare the mind to receive them. Our Lord Jesus is different from all other teachers; they can reach the ear, but He instructs the heart. They deal with the outward letter, but He gives an inward taste for the truth, helping us perceive its
flavor and spirit. The most uneducated person can become a scholar in the school of grace when Jesus, by His Holy Spirit, reveals the mysteries of the kingdom to them and gives them the divine understanding to see the unseen. We are truly blessed if our minds have been enlightened and strengthened by the Master!

When we walk, we move from strength to weakness. We start our journey fresh and strong, but soon the road becomes rough, the sun beats down, and we sit by the roadside to rest. When we get up, we continue with heavier steps. But Christian pilgrims, receiving
fresh grace, are as strong after years of hard travel as when they first began their journey to Zion. “They shall walk and not faint.”
