DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

We now commit ourselves again to your keeping, oh faithful Creator; to your keeping, oh savior of the pierced hand; to your keeping, oh eternal Spirit, who is able to keep us from falling and to sanctify us wholly that we may be made to stand among the saints in light.

Oh God, we can trust you, and we do. Our faith has gathered strength by the lapse of years. Year after year confirms the fact that to rely upon God is our happiness and our strength, and we will do so, though the earth be removed and the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. We will not fear, since God abides steadfast forever, and his covenant cannot fail.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“I made the earth, and created humans on it. It was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded everything in them.” (Isaiah 45:12)

When we think of this, we ought to worship God alone, and trust him alone, and pay all loyal homage to him. What can there be that is comparable to the Creator of all things? There is not so much as a grain of dust, nor a single fly, that is self-created, or man-made; but everything hath come from God, and exists because he wills it. Therefore, give to the Lord the glory that is due unto his name, and rest in his power, and trust in his might.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Yangliu Lalu of China.

While there have never been Yangliu Lalu Christians or churches, there are Christians of other ethnic groups in their province.

Pray that Christians in China would bring the gospel to the Yangliu Lalu.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Eight incredible testimonies from the underground church*

Christian persecution is a horrific reality around the world today. And while many Christians tend to ignore or forget about our persecuted brothers and sisters, the Lord Jesus cares deeply. And we should care too.

We need to understand the grave realities of persecution today, the tactics that wicked governments employ in an attempt to control churches, and what Christians around the world are facing from hostile forces trying to stop the spread of the gospel.

Reading the testimonies of persecuted Christians helps us gain these crucial understandings so that we can share in God’s care for our persecuted brothers and sisters.

If you are looking for a great place to hear the testimonies of persecuted Christians, you can get a FREE BOOK that features the heroic stories of eight women who refused to deny Christ in the face of extreme persecution.

This month, The Voice of the Martyrs is giving away FREE copies of their book Hearts of Fire to anyone who requests a copy.

Reading Hearts of Fire made me more like Jesus, because it helped me to care more about his people. I know that this book will do the same for you.
