DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

We do accept you Jesus. Your blood is our cleansing; your righteousness is our clothing. We stand accepted in the Beloved, all of us who have believed in your holy name. Let your people enjoy that sweet peace which comes of being justified by faith; and if any reading this who have not believed, oh that they might put their trust in Christ! May faith be wrought in them. May they cheerfully and at once receive the great atonement and be saved by it.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)

We have peace, we know that we have, we enjoy it; it is not a thing of the future, we have peace, a deep calm like that which came to the disciples when Christ hushed the winds and waves to sleep. “We have peace with God,” his peace has entered into us, we possess it now; but it is all “through our Lord Jesus Christ.” It is all war apart from him, but all peace through him. We poor sinners, being justified by faith, have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Pacoh of Laos.

Pacoh villages are close knit communities. They have a lot of love for one another, but do not know the love of God.

Pray that a church would be planted in every Pacoh village.

In a world full of hatred, our kids need the peace of Christ

I saw a survey a few years ago which revealed that depression was the top fear of parents. We really want our kids to be safe and to feel safe. We know that the world is full of hatred and danger and long for our home to be an oasis of peace.

If you want to fill your home with the peace of God, you need to fill it with the word of God. That’s why I created God Centered Family — because I believe that if you make God’s Word the center of your family’s life, he will transform every part of your lives.

Over the last few years, I’ve been writing interactive, usable family devotionals that cover the whole Bible. With an investment of $6 each month and ten minutes each day, you’ll read and discuss the ENTIRE Bible with your kids, who will see God’s powerful work of redemption from Genesis to Revelation.

I can’t think of any better way to fill your home with peace.
