Spurgeon’s Daily Help
There can be no real contradiction between God’s revelation in His word and in His works. One may go further than the other, but the revelations must be in harmony. However, there can be significant differences in how we interpret God’s works and His word. It’s true that people who study the Bible sometimes
miss its meaning. Even more, some devout people, in their eagerness to defend the Bible, have twisted its words. If they had always sought to understand what God said and stuck to its true meaning, they would have been wiser.

Our soul is like the clusters of grapes on a vine, belonging only to the owner of the vineyard. Great Lord, let every part of me be yours alone. Use me fully in your service, and let my soul pour out completely for you. When the first rich wine of my
youth is gone, even press out the last drops for your glory.
