VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly wait for a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 3:20)

If our citizenship is in heaven then we are aliens here; we are strangers and foreigners, pilgrims and sojourners in the earth, as all our fathers were. In the words of Scripture, “Here we do not have a permanent city,” but we “aspire to a better land, that is, a heavenly one” (Heb rews13:14; 11:16).

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

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

“All the nations you have made will come and bow down before you, Lord, and will honor your name” (Psalm 86:9).

Pray that the Mjuniang would bow before the Lord Jesus and honor him for the first time.
