DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Lord, many of us have been forgiven years ago. We have walked with you now, with holy joy and confidence, some of us for a quarter of a century and others for more; yet Lord there may be something between us and you even now, and if there be, “Let me know why you prosecute me” (Job 10:2). If you see in your servants any wrong thing encouraged, any evil desire cherished; if there is anything that we delight in that you do not delight in; if we have any habit which grieves you; if we grieve your Holy Spirit in anything—our Father, forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us; and then point out to us the trespass, and teach our feet to keep the ways of your commandments, and to trespass no more; for our heart is right towards your statutes and we desire holiness.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Completely wash away my guilt and cleanse me from my sin.” (Psalm 51:2)

It is not the punishment he cries out against, but the sin. Many a murderer is more alarmed at the gallows than at the murder which brought him to it. The thief loves the plunder, though he fears the prison. Not so David; he is sick of sin as sin; his loudest outcries are against the evil of his transgression, and not against the painful consequences of it. When we deal seriously with our sin, God will deal gently with us. When we hate what the Lord hates, he will soon make an end of it, to our joy and peace.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week we’re praying for the Baheng of China.

The Baheng make constant offerings to their deceased ancestors in order to earn protection from sickness, death, and spiritual attacks.

Pray that the Baheng would know true peace in Christ.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

FINALLY: A discipleship course that helps women get honest about sexual sin, while finding real restoration from the grace of Jesus.*

Sexual purity isn’t about “saving yourself” for your husband; it’s about BEING SAVED by Jesus from the sin that so easily ensnares us.

Often, when we talk about sexual sin, we seem to forget everything we believe about God’s grace. Thankfully, God’s grace is still at work, even in the darkest moments of our foulest sins.

If you’re a woman struggling with sexual sin, I know a great resource to help you in the fight. It’s a free video series/discipleship course called Transforming Love.

It’s all about remembering God’s grace, even in our worst sin and most tragic suffering, and moving forward with the strength grace supplies.

This course will offer you first steps towards heart-transforming long-term change, not just short-term behavior modification, by understanding where sin/behavior comes from (the heart).

Here’s what to look forward to…

  • Six 30-minute video sessions.

  • Includes a free downloadable participant’s guide

  • Teaching WHY we sin (so that we can pursue long-term change), not just stopping sinful behavior.

  • Use it in a group, one-on-one, or on your own

  • Remember the transforming love of Jesus in your darkest sin and suffering.

This course is REALLY powerful and it’s 100% free for you!

(And If you’re a woman who does NOT struggle with sexual sin, maybe invite women in your church to go through the course with you. Just imagine what God will do as you create a safe space for women to be honest and experience grace together.)
