DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

We can truly say that we delight in God. There was a time when we feared you, oh God, with the fear of slavery. Now we revere, but we love as much as we revere. The thought of your omnipresence was once horrible to us. We said: “where shall we flee from his presence?” and it seemed to make hell itself more dreadful, because we heard a voice, “If I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there.”

But now, oh Lord, we desire to find you. Our longing is to feel your presence, and it is the heaven of heavens that you are there. The sick bed is soft when you are there. The furnace of affliction grows cool when you are there, and the house of prayer when you are present is none other than the house of God, and it is the very gate of heaven.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“So then, dear friends, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from every impurity of the flesh and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.” (2 Corinthians 7:1)

The text shows that Christians are prompted by the most sacred of motives—“the fear of God.” An abiding sense of God’s presence, a perpetual feeling of our obligations to our Creator and Redeemer produces a reverent fear of God. Such a constant fear as this is the source of Christian holiness.
