DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Oh Lord God, the great I AM, we do confess and cheerfully acknowledge that all comes from you. You have made us and not we ourselves, and the breath in our nostrils is kept there by your continued power. We owe our sustenance, our happiness, our advancement, our ripening, our very existence entirely to you. We would bless you for all the mercies with which you surround us, for all things which our eyes see that are pleasant, which our ears hear that are agreeable, and for everything that makes existence to be true life.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“The life of every living thing is in his hand, as well as the breath of all humanity.” (Job 12:10)

There is a God in the motion of a grain of dust blown by the summer’s wind as much as in the revolutions of the stupendous planet. There is a God in the sparkling of a firefly as truly as in the flaming comet. We may carry home to our houses the thought that God is there—at our table, in our bedroom, in our workroom, and at our counter. We may recognize the doing and being of God in every little thing. A great God in little things, I am sure, will spare us a world of vexation if we will but remember this, for it is from him that our vexations come.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Balti of Pakistan.

The Balti, originally from Tibet, fled to Pakistan to escape Chinese persecution. Their unique background reminds us that God is worthy of praise from every nation.

Pray that many Balti of Pakistan would worship Christ on the last day.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Jesus isn’t just real, he’s good too.*

I’ve experienced a lot of challenging trials this year. And while I’ve never had a problem believing in the truthfulness of Jesus, it’s been hard to really believe the goodness of Jesus.

As he’s always done, God has been an incredible helper. He has blessed me beyond measure and reminded me that he really is good, his grace really is amazing, and his mercy really is more than our many sins.

One of the ways he’s done that for me is through a new book, Enjoying Jesus by Tim Chester, which I got to read last month.

This book is amazing.

It is so clear about the truth of Jesus — throughout the book, he is lifted up as a mighty Lord and kind Savior.

But Enjoying Jesus is just as clear about the goodness of Jesus — he isn’t just a Savior who lived, died, and rose 2,000 years ago… he is a present friend and helper TODAY.

Whether you’re confident or struggling to hold onto the goodness of Jesus, “Enjoying Jesus” is such an encouraging, gospel-saturated, grace-overflowing, Bible-based, joy-inducing, doubt-dispelling book.

God’s grace to me through this book has been a game-changer. I can’t wait to hear about what this book does in your life.
