Ambition and Desire for Greatness
Story★★★★serve the Lord humbly where he was. As a result, Spurgeon never did make it to
college, but it didn’t matter. He became the most powerful, successful and fruitful
minister in the history of Victorian England, and he later said that he “a thousand
times thanked the Lord very heartily for the strange providence which forced his
steps into another and far better path.”
The point
Spurgeon's rejection from college led through God's strange providence to far greater fruitfulness in ministry than college could have offered.
