DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

It was a happy day for us when, in the infinite sovereignty of your love, you looked upon us and called us by your grace. Then did the dead heart begin to beat. Then did light enter the darkened eye, and then we turned to you. It was the best discovery we had ever made, when we found that there was, after all, a God, ready to hear us, willing to listen to our cries.

Many days have passed since first we knew it, and many changes we have seen, but we have never lost our hold on Christ; nor has he ever lost his hold of us; and here we are still, to weep to the praise of the mercy that we have found, and to tell to others, as we have breath to speak, that the Lord is a great sin-pardoning God.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” (1 John 4:8)

I have known men, professing to be Christians, at enmity with their brothers. I have heard of a father and a son who have not spoken to one another for months. Did I hear of a mother and a daughter who would not speak to each other, and of sisters who had fallen out? This will not do; you must either give up your Christian profession or give up your hatred. The very attempt to combine enmity and Christianity is a sin against God.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Ashtiani of Iran.

The Ashtiani are herdsmen and farmers in a country with limited space for agriculture.

Pray that God would supply all of their needs.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Why the gospel is good news for Mondays*

It’s easy to attend a moving worship service on Sunday and then forget all about the power and love of Jesus by Monday morning. That’s why Enjoying Jesus (a new book by Tim Chester) is such a powerful resource. This isn’t just another theology book to tell you true things about Jesus that you’ve heard a thousand times (although it is a theologically rich book that is firmly rooted in the truth of Scripture).

What makes Enjoying Jesus unique is that this book will really help you ENJOY the truth of Jesus, not just KNOW it. If you’ve ever struggled to live in light of the gospel, ever struggled to see how your Sunday worship should impact life on Monday, then Enjoying Jesus will be a great read for you.
