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)

“For everything was created by him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through him and for him.” (Colossians 1:16)

Jesus is God. If all things were made by him, and for him, how is it possible for us to get away from the conviction that he is indeed God? I will not attempt to argue about the matter. Whatever others may say or do, as for me, Jesus of Nazareth is my Lord and my God, and I will love, and adore, and worship him forever and ever.

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

Seeing How All of Scripture Points to Jesus

Today’s verse of the day highlighted Christ as the creator of the world. When we see Jesus for who he really is, in all of his beauty as the King of all Ages, we have to fall to our faces in worship. We must lay everything on the table in submission to this great king.

We always need resources that will magnify Christ to us — books that will remind us of how wonderful he is. One of those books is Christ from Beginning to End: How the Full Story of Scripture Reveals the Full Glory of Christ by Stephen Wellum and Trent Hunter. This book walks through the story of Scripture, showing how Christ is the supreme hero and the supreme hope — he is what all of the Bible is pointing to.

This book is a helpful handbook to help you read Scripture in a more faithful, Christ-centered way and a guide to help you see Christ in every page.

This book will help you treasure Christ and the Bible more. I hope you’ll grab a copy for yourself.

LAST WORD FROM SPURGEON

“To submit to a Creator who is too wise to err and too good to be unkind should not be hard.” — Charles Spurgeon
