day no. 16,434: little strokes fell lofty oaks

“Little strokes fell lofty oaks.” — Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

Christian consistency and continuity will take captive every thought for Christ. It is not a question of IF, but of WHEN. Nothing that raises itself against Jesus will survive. It will be struck down and will not be resurrected to life. This end result may yet take a while to see and perhaps we are only just getting started, but each man, woman, and child manning their posts will fell the high-minded forests. Those small in their own estimation will overthrow those large in their own conceits. The ax of obedience is sharp and the shoulders of faith are fit for swinging.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
