Today’s Quote
The Christian’s life should be a sermon that all can read.
— Matthew Henry
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
A Christian should be a source of comfort, with kind words on their lips and sympathy in their heart. They should bring sunshine wherever they go and spread happiness around them. If you see Jesus and regularly dwell in the light of His presence, your face, character, and life will shine, even without
you realizing it. If the tender mercy of God has visited us and done so much more for us than words can express, then let us show tender mercy in our dealings with others. The person who brings spiritual life to others lives the fullest and best life.

God’s promises are like the granaries Joseph filled in preparation for years of famine. The believer can draw from them without fear of running out. Blessed is the person who can take the five barley loaves and two fish of God’s promises and break them
until all their thousands of needs are met, with even more left over. God’s promises are better than man’s best efforts; one word from God is worth more than the whole world.
