Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Jesus is the great teacher of humility. We need to learn from him daily. Look at the Master, taking a towel and washing his disciples’ feet! If you follow Christ, will you not humble yourself too? Look at him, the Servant of servants, and how can you be proud? "He humbled himself!" Didn’t he constantly
give up one honor after another until he was finally nailed to the cross, giving up even his life for us? How low our dear Redeemer was brought! So how can we, his followers, be proud?

You who may not be eloquent, whose tongues may struggle to express your thoughts, don’t stay silent about the Lord. Even the smallest bell in the steeple is needed to complete the chime, and the tiniest bird would be missed from the chorus of the skies
if it stopped singing. So, come forward, even if you feel like the least among your brothers and sisters, because without your contribution, the work of God’s household will be incomplete.
