DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Should any of your servants be in deep trouble, will you grant them grace to glory in tribulation also, because it works patience, experience, and hope. And may the Lord grant to all his tried and troubled ones, beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

If they have lost their hope, if their faith has become weak, if their love burns low—Lord renew the youth of your people, like that of the eagles; and let them mount up with eagles, and rise above their doubts, their deadness, and their care.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures.” (Psalm 16:11)

The life of heaven is a life of joy, and the crowning joy is that the pleasures there are “eternal pleasures.” In this world, a few drops of joy fall here and there, and there are sometimes showers of blessing; but up there, it is joy, joy, joy forever, pleasures forevermore. Let these blessed joy-bells ring in your ears and in your heart just now; and if you know even a little of what they mean, you may anticipate that they will mean a thousand times as much on the other side of the Jordan of death, in the heavenly land of Canaan.
