DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Oh, to delight in God with a holy overflowing rejoicing that can never be stopped so that we might live to glorify God with all of our gifts, living with enthusiasm—burning, blazing, being consumed with the indwelling God who works all things in us according to his will! Thus, Lord, we praise and pray at the same time; confess and acknowledge our responsibilities; but also bless the free, the sovereign grace that makes us what we are. Oh God of the eternal choice, oh God of the ransom purchased on the tree, oh God of the effectual call, Father, Son and Spirit, our adoration rises to heaven like the smoke from the altar of incense. Glory and honor and majesty and power and dominion and might be unto the one only God, forever and ever, and all the redeemed by blood will say, “Amen.”

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31)

And if anything you might do would not glorify God, do not do it.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Tubu of Chad.

The Tubu do not have the Bible in their language, Tedaga. How can they believe the words of life if they cannot read them?

Pray that faithful and qualified Bible translators would bring the Bible into the Tubu language.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Learn from your brothers and sisters who are suffering for Christ*

When Christians around the world suffer for Jesus, they are also walking in the footsteps of Jesus. Christ knows what it is like to suffer unjustly for the truth. But Christ isn’t just their example — he is also their reward. As horrendous as the realities of Christian persecution around the world are today, Christ is more than worth it all.

I’ve shared several times over the last few weeks about When Faith is Forbidden, a really powerful book that tells the stories of forty men and women around the world who have faced violent opposition, rejection, prison, and constant threats for their faith in Jesus. Throughout their suffering, they have found Christ to be more precious than ever before. And when you hear their stories, you’ll find Christ to be more precious than ever before too.

This month, The Voice of the Martyrs is giving away a FREE unabridged audiobook of When Faith is Forbidden. Get access to the full seven hour audiobook to strengthen your love for Christ.
