DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Great God, we bless you that the battle between yourself and the powers of darkness has never been uncertain. We praise your name, that now it is forever sure to end in victory. Our hearts this morning, amidst the struggles of the present day, would look back to the conflicts of Calvary, and see how our Lord broke the dragon’s head there forever.

Oh help us to know this morning that we are contending with a vanquished enemy, that we go forth to fight against one who, with all his subtlety and all his strength, has already been overthrown by him who is our covenant head, our leader, our husband, our all.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the LORD God had made.” (Genesis 3:1)

The only way to repel Satan’s subtlety is by acquiring true wisdom. Again I repeat it: man has none of that wisdom in himself. What then? Here is true wisdom: if we would successfully wrestle with Satan, we must make the Holy Scriptures our daily resort. Out of this sacred book we must continually draw our armor and our ammunition. We must lay hold on the glorious doctrines of God’s Word—make them our daily meat and drink. So will we be strong to resist the devil and joyful in discovering that he will flee.
