DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
May we rest in our God and be quite happy in the thought that he will no more remember our sins and our iniquities. He has brought us into covenant with him by a covenant which can never fail, so like David we may say this morning: āIs it not true my house is with God? For he has established a permanent covenant with me, ordered and secured in every detailā (2 Samuel 23:5).
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
āFor my yoke is easy and my burden is light.ā (Matthew 11:30)
The yoke in which we draw with Christ must be a happy one, and the burden which we carry for him is a blessed one. We rest in the fullest sense when we serve, if Jesus is the Master. We are unloaded by bearing his burden; we are rested by running on his errands. āCome to meā, is thus a divine prescription, curing our ills by the pardon of sin through our Lordās sacrifice and giving us the greatest peace by sanctifying us to his service.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Can we really find rest when the world is so broken?
Life in this fallen world is full of many things to be afraid of, but recognizing the good presence of Christ with us gives us the power to choose faith over fear.
Thatās the message of Fear and Faith: Finding the Peace Your Heart Craves by Trillia Newbell. In this book, Newbell addresses a variety of common fears, and shows how the truth of Godās Word and the power of the gospel can help us overcome those fears with faith.
This book will encourage you, boost your confidence in God, and help you walk with faith every day. I hope youāll grab a copy today and read it today.
