DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Be very gracious to your people here, binding us more and more firmly together in a holy, living unity; and stir us up more and more to seek the good of the sons of men and especially to seek the glory of our divine Lord and Master. Jesus, we are yours and belong to nobody else. No cause occupies our hearts but yours. All our sympathies run one way—in the channel where the precious blood of our redeeming Lord flows. All for Christ and none besides, in our heart at this time. Oh keep it so; keep it so until we behold the well-beloved one in his glory and are wrapped up in his splendor with him.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“He gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people for his own possession, eager to do good works.” (Titus 2:14)

He has purified us to be wholly his. No human hand may use the golden cup, no human incense may burn in the consecrated censer. We are purified for him. Saints are Christ’s crown jewels, his box of diamonds, his very, very, very own. He carries his people as lambs in his bosom; he engraves their names on his heart. They are the inheritance to which he is the heir and he values them more than all the universe besides. He would lose everything else sooner than lose one of them.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Dangarik in Pakistan.

The U.S. State Department recommends that people “reconsider travel” to Pakistan due to the high risk of terrorism and armed conflict. The Dangarik live in one of the most dangerous parts of the country. Missionaries will need to risk their lives to bring the gospel to the Dangarik.

Pray that God would bring peace throughout the region, protect the Dangarik, and protect missionaries that he will send to them.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Men in your church ARE using porn. Do you know how to help them?*

64% of Christian men regularly use pornography. And that means that men YOU know are struggling — stuck in sin, filled with guilt, and not knowing how to move forward.

Are you ready to help these men?

HarvestUSA is a really great, faithful ministry that focuses on equipping YOU to minister to people struggling with their own sexual sin.

Harvest has put together a really incredible Bible study resource that you could start using right away to help men in your church.

“Discovery” is a Bible study for men stuck in sexual sin. It is gospel-centered and will help you see and address the root of your sin.

These great resources are available for FREE and they even come with a Leader’s Guide, so that you can start a small group study in your own church or home right now.

I believe that God wants to use his Word THROUGH YOU to help men and women in your life. And I know that these studies will help you along the way.
