DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

We have deeply felt our entire unworthiness even to lift up our eyes to the place where your honor dwells. You have made us to die to our self-righteousness. We pray now because we have been quickened; we have received a new life, and the breath of that life is prayer. We have risen from the dead, and we also make intercession through the life which Christ has given us. We plead with the living God with living hearts because he has made us to live.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“If your sons keep my covenant and my decrees that I will teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever.” (Psalm 132:12)

These monarchs held their crowns from God upon the terms of loyalty to their superior Sovereign, the Lord who had elevated them to their high position. They were to be faithful to the covenant by obedience to the divine law, and by belief of divine truth. They were to accept the Lord as their Lord and their teacher, regarding him in both relations as in covenant with him.

The princes of David’s house seemed set on ruining themselves, and nothing could save them; justice waited long, but it was bound at last to unsheathe the sword and strike. Still, if in the letter man’s breach of promise caused the covenant to fail, yet in spirit and essence the Lord has been true to it, for Jesus reigns, and holds the throne forever. David’s seed is still royal, for he was the ancestor according to the flesh of him who is King of kings and Lord of lords.
