Today’s Quote
From the mountaintop of grace, life’s valleys seem smaller.
— Thomas Watson
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
It’s incredibly beneficial for our souls to rise above this troubled world and focus on something higher and better. It would do us good to leave the valley with its marshes and mists and breathe the fresh air on the hills. I invite you to such a climb now. May the Spirit of God help us leave behind
the fears and anxieties of this earthly valley and ascend to the heights of anticipated joy and blessings. May God’s Spirit cut the ties that hold us down and help us rise!

Some passages in Scripture can only be fully understood through experience. Some verses are written with invisible ink, which becomes readable only when exposed to the fire of adversity. You can see stars when you look up from the bottom of a well, even
though they aren’t visible from the surface. Similarly, in the depths of trouble, you will see spiritual truths that wouldn’t be visible otherwise.
