Today’s Quote
Faith looks forward to God’s promises with unwavering hope.
— J.C. Ryle
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Dying in faith reflects trust in the past, present, and future. The faithful believed in the promises made to them and were assured their sins were forgiven. In the present, they were confident in their acceptance by God, basking in His love and faithfulness. As they looked to the future, they were certain
the Messiah would come. Your journey, through God’s grace, is one of faith, rarely supported by sight. This was also the path of the most brilliant and faithful saints.

in Him like a child?
