DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Let your kingdom come, good Lord; let your kingdom come and let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and our hearts shall sing with the angel choir, and be glad with all the ransomed before the throne, because God is glorified. This is our soul’s grandest object, that Jesus’ name be lifted high, and his throne be set up among the people, to the praise of the glory of his grace. And now unto the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, be glory, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10)
Oh, that all who say this prayer may display on earth the holy readiness of obedience which is seen in the happy, hearty, united, and unquestioning service of perfect saints and angels before the throne. Our heart’s highest wish is for God’s honor, dominion, and glory.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Teach kids that sin separates, God restores
Today, we prayed for God’s plan to be finished so that we would be with him forever.
The story of the Bible begins with God’s people living in close fellowship with him in the Garden, but quickly being thrown out as a direct consequence to sin. The rest of the Bible tells the stunning story of God doing the work to save his people and bring them back to himself.
The Garden, The Curtain, and the Cross by Carl Laferton is a book to help kids understand this important aspect of the Bible’s big story: “Because of your sin, you can’t come in, But Jesus died to take our sin, so now we all can be with him!”
This is a must-have for any family’s library, a great resource for pointing your kids to their great need for Christ.
