DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Glorious God, there are many of us who can bless you that we know you. There was a time when we lived in your world but had never known the Creator. We were partakers of your providence but we did not know the provider. We went up and down in the sunlight, but we were blind. There were voices all around us, but we were deaf to all things spiritual. We could see and understand many things, but we did not desire to know you in whom we live and move and have our being. It was a happy day for us when, in the infinite sovereignty of your love, you looked upon us and called us by your grace.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)

When that “beginning” was, we cannot tell. It may have been long ages before God fitted up this world for the abode of man, but it was not self-existent; it was created by God, it sprang from the will and the word of the all-wise Creator.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

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

The Duano are a tribe of 21,000 people with zero Christians among them. There has never been a Christian Duano person, even though we know that Jesus died for his people among the Duano (Revelation 5:9). The Duano are mostly fishermen.

Pray that missionaries — fishers of men — would go to this tribe of fishermen with the hope of Jesus.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Why the gospel is good news for Mondays*

It’s easy to attend a moving worship service on Sunday and then forget all about the power and love of Jesus by Monday morning. That’s why Enjoying Jesus (a new book by Tim Chester) is such a powerful resource. This isn’t just another theology book to tell you true things about Jesus that you’ve heard a thousand times (although it is a theologically rich book that is firmly rooted in the truth of Scripture).

What makes Enjoying Jesus unique is that this book will really help you ENJOY the truth of Jesus, not just KNOW it. If you’ve ever struggled to live in light of the gospel, ever struggled to see how your Sunday worship should impact life on Monday, then Enjoying Jesus will be a great read for you.
