DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Oh Lord God, the fountain of all fullness, we, who are nothing but emptiness, come to you for all supplying all of our needs. We first adore your blessed and ever-to-be-beloved name. All the earth worships you, the Father everlasting. Heaven is full of your glory. Oh, that men’s hearts were filled with that glory, that the noblest creatures you have made, whom you set in the Paradise of God, for whom the Savior shed his blood, loved you with all their hearts. The faithful, chosen, called, and separated, join in the everlasting song. All your redeemed praise you, oh God!

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“When I observe your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you set in place, what is a human being that you remember him, a son of man that you look after him?” (Psalm 8:3–4)

Though he is an object of the paternal care and mercy of the Most High, yet he is but as a grain of sand to the whole earth, when compared to the countless myriads of beings that people the amplitudes of creation. What is the whole of this globe on which we dwell compared with the solar system, which contains a mass of matter ten thousand times greater? What is it in comparison of the hundred millions of suns and worlds which by the telescope have been described throughout the starry regions?

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Duano of Indonesia.

There have never been any Duano Christians. They have no church they could attend, books they could read, or even any Christian acquaintances who can share with them. If they are going to know Christ, missionaries from the outside will have to go to tell them.

Pray that missionaries would go to the Duano of Indonesia.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

A devotional to help you run from sin and cling to Christ

Often, the biggest cause of fear in our lives is questioning the truth of God’s forgiveness. But God wants us to have confidence that our sins are forgiven, to help us know that we are forgiven of our sin by the great mercy of Christ.

One resource that’s been helpful as I’ve studied God’s Word and his promise of forgiveness is Whiter Than Snow: Meditations on Sin and Mercy by Paul Tripp. This book features 52 short devotionals (one for every week of the year) on Psalm 51. This is an incredible resource to help you remember the horrors of your sin and the wonders of God’s amazing grace.

You could read the book over the next few months with just five minutes a day, or read one devotional each week for the next year. I can’t think of a better way to spend your time than reflecting on God’s mercy towards broken sinners like us.

I hope you’ll buy a copy and enjoy meditating on God’s unending mercy with me.
