DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Oh God, save us from a hard heart, an unkind spirit, that is insensible to the woes of others. Lord, preserve your people also from worldliness, from rioting, from drunkenness, from sexual immorality and unrestrained lust, from strife and envy, from everything that would dishonor the name of Christ that we bear.
Lord make us holy. Our prayer comes back to this. Make us holy; cleanse the inside and let the outside be clean too. Make us holy, oh God, do this for Christâs sake. Not that we hope to be saved by our own holiness, but that holiness is salvation. Then we are saved from sin.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
âA good person produces good out of the good stored up in his heart. An evil person produces evil out of the evil stored up in his heart, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.â (Luke 6:45)
The Holy Spirit does not attempt to improve human nature into something better but lays the axe at the root of the trees and declares that we must become new creatures and that by a supernatural work of the omnipotent God. You may enlighten a manâs understanding, and you have done much, but as long as his heart is wrong, the enlightenment of the understanding only enables him to sin with a greater weight of responsibility resting on him. He knows good to be good, but he prefers evil. He sees the light, but he loves the darkness and turns from the truth because his heart is alienated from God. If the heart is renewed, the judgment will, before long, follow in the same track. But as long as the heart is wrong, the affections govern the will and bias the character of the man toward evil.
PRAY FOR THE NATIONS
This week, weâre praying for the Odienne Jula in CĂŽte d'Ivoire.
The Jula live in clans and are fiercely devoted to them. They cannot make any major decisions without consulting the elders of the clan.
Pray that God would give opportunities for Christians to get to know the Odienne Jula.
