DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

We can truly say that we delight in God. There was a time when we feared you 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 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.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Bagulal of Russia.

The psalmist said, “I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. For your faithful love is as high as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches the clouds” (Psalm 57:9–10). The Bagulal have never heard of the faithful love of God and cannot join in this song of praise.

Pray that Christians would bring the praise of God to the Bagulal soon.

LAST WORD FROM SPURGEON

“The fear of God is the death of every other fear; like a mighty lion, it chases all other fears before it.” — Charles Spurgeon
