DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

As you have revealed yourself in Christ Jesus, you have now become to your people the object of inexpressible delight. You have called us to delight in you, promising to give us the desire of our hearts. We trust we can, many of us, truly say that you are our exceeding joy; the thought of God does bring exceeding pleasure to our soul. Our soul exults in her God; he is our God and we will extol him, he is our fathers’ God and we will glorify him.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and new wine abound.” (Psalm 4:7)

When God puts gladness in the heart, it is real gladness, for God is not the giver of a sham joy; and it is lasting gladness, for God does not give temporary gifts. He compares his joy with the gladness of the sons of men, and he says that his joy was greater than theirs when their earthly stores were increased.
