VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy.” (Psalm 126:5)

Present distress must not be viewed as if it would last forever: it is not the end, by any means, but only a means to the end. Sorrow is our sowing, rejoicing shall be our reaping. We must sow: we may have to sow in the wet weather of sorrow, but we shall reap, and reap in the bright summer season of joy. Let us keep to the work of this present sowing time, and find strength in the promise which is here so positively given us.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Balti of Pakistan.

God promised Abraham that “all the peoples on earth will be blessed through” him (Genesis 12:3). The Balti people have never heard the name of Jesus, the Son of Abraham who will bring blessing to all the earth.

Pray that God would send missionaries to the Balti of Pakistan.
