Today’s Quote
I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize the Lord is able to carry out His will and His will is mine. It makes no matter where He places me, or how. That is rather for Him to consider than for me; for in the easiest positions, He must give me His grace; and in the most difficult, His grace is ever sufficient.
— Hudson Taylor
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
In the evening, there are plenty of opportunities: people come home from work, and a dedicated soul-winner finds time to spread the love of Jesus. Do I have any evening work for Jesus? If not, I shouldn’t hold back from a service that requires much effort. Jesus gave both His hands to the nails; how
can I withhold even one of mine from His blessed work? He labored and prayed for me day and night; how can I give a single hour to selfishness? Get up, lazy heart; reach out your hand to work, or lift it in prayer. Heaven and Hell are serious—let me be serious too, and tonight plant good seeds for the Lord my God.

When sick people take two kinds of medicine, there’s little hope for a cure, especially if the medicines oppose each other; a bird that nests in two trees belongs to neither; and a soul that wavers between grace and works will never find peace. Maybe,
reader, a hidden, almost imperceptible self-reliance is the very thing keeping Christ out of your soul.
