DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Now, Lord, will you be pleased to cause all of your children’s hearts to dance within them for joy? Help your people to come to Jesus again today. May we be looking unto him today as we did at the first. May we never take our eyes from his divine person, from his infinite merit, from his finished work, from his living power, or from the expectancy of his speedy coming to “judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with his faithfulness” (Psalm 96:13). We know that we have peace with God and we bless that glorious one who has come “to bring the rebellion to an end, to put a stop to sin, to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness” (Daniel 9:24), the righteousness by faith that we take for ourselves and which you impute to us.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.” (2 Corinthians 3:18)

By communion with our Lord Jesus we are made like him.

Every thought which crosses the mind affects it for the better or the worse, every glance is moulding us, every wish fashions the character. A sight of God is the most wonderfully sanctifying influence that can be conceived of. Know God, and you will grow to be like him. Dear hearer, have you beheld this marvelous vision?

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Tumari Kanuri of Niger.

Hospitality and friendship are important values for the Tumari Kanuri, but they do not know the God who gave his Son to welcome them in.

Pray that the gospel would finally reach the Tumari Kanuri.
