DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

We have faith in Jesus, blessed be your name, but oh strengthen and deepen that faith! May he be all in all to us; may we never look elsewhere for ground of rest, but abide in him with an unwavering, immutable confidence, that the Christ of God cannot fail nor be discouraged, but must forever be the salvation of his people. We trust we can say also that we love the Lord, but we long to love him more! Let this blessed flame feed on the very marrow of our bones.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“By faith Enoch was taken away, and so he did not experience death. He was not to be found because God took him away. For before he was taken away, he was approved as one who pleased God.” (Hebrews 11:5)

It is faith that muzzles the mouth of death and takes away the power of the grave. If any man, who had not been a believer, had been translated as Enoch was, we should have been able to point to a great feat accomplished apart from faith. It has never been so.

Do not attempt to escape the pangs of death by any other way, but walk with God, and you will be able to say, “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:55).

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Jiiddo in Somalia.

In the last days, Jesus will sit on a throne and “All nations will stream to it” (Isaiah 2:2). The Jiiddo need to hear about Jesus in order to come to him in faith.

Pray that Christ would be faithfully proclaimed among the Jiiddo for the first time.
