Spurgeon’s Daily Help
"We ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit." — Romans 8:23
But the first fruits are just a taste of what's to come; the work of the Spirit in us now is not the final product—the perfection is still ahead. We shouldn't think we've already arrived, mistaking the first signs of growth for the
full harvest. Instead, we should hunger and thirst for righteousness, yearning for the day of complete redemption. Today, open your heart wide, and God will fill it. Deeply desire higher levels of consecration, and your Lord will grant them to you because He is able to do far more than we could ever ask or imagine.

Southwell said of Mary, "She chose the best part, without a doubt, good Lord, because she chose nothing else but you." It was good to be willing to sit at a wise man's feet to learn; it was even better to choose Jesus as her teacher, and it was best of
all to remain in the learner's place, fully focused on His gracious words.
