We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.

There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .
― Charles Spurgeon


Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.
― C. H. Spurgeon


Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon


If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.
― Charles Spurgeon


A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.
― Charles Spurgeon


Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.
― Charles Spurgeon


When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
― Charles Spurgeon

Repeat the moves you know to make,
until His call is new.
Let no one from your duty shake,
until the task is through.

Until the task is through, my friend,
we've daily steps to walk.
The job is yours, you must not bend.
We sweat, not merely talk.

Until the task is through, I trow,
repeatings we disdain
for what we do is what we know.
This truth is very plain.

Until the task is through affirm
commitment in each hour.
We shrink from not a harmful germ
but live in His great Power.

Until the task is through, I see
the sameness seems a cloud,
but 'til the Lord would set me free
the daily breaks the proud.

Until the task is through, invest
your all for his blest Name.
The Lord may put us to the test,
but focus fans the flame.

Until the task is through, be strong.
Eschew all earthly bliss.
The Master's purpose is our song.
We bow His feet to kiss.

Repeat the daily work you do,
until His call relents.
Until the task is through for you,
obey when naught makes sense.
