Today’s Quote
To be content with the doorstep is to miss the feast within.
— Matthew Henry
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
He calls us into deeper communion with himself. We’ve been sitting on the doorstep of God’s house, and he invites us to enter the banquet hall and dine with him, but we hesitate. There are secret rooms not yet revealed to us; Jesus invites us in, but we hold back. Shame on our cold hearts! We are poor
lovers of our sweet Lord Jesus, not even worthy to be his servants, let alone his bride, yet he has raised us up to be part of his body, united with him by a glorious marriage covenant. This is true love!

Wealth, or even just a comfortable life, can be like a sticky trap that holds the soul captive to earthly pleasures. When life is easy, people often lose their desire to depart and be with Christ. It shouldn’t be this way. If this world seems better to
us than the glory to come, our judgment is flawed, and our earthly nature is holding back the aspirations of our spiritual life.
