DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

We lift our voice to you in prayer for all of our dear ones. Lord, bless the sick and make them well as soon as it is right they should be. Sanctify to them all that they have to bear. There are also dear friends who are very weak; some that are very trembling. God, bless them. While the tent is being taken down may the inhabitant within look on with calm joy, for we shall soon “put on our heavenly dwelling” (2 Corinthians 5:2). Lord, help us to hold all these things here below loosely. May we live here like strangers and make the world not a house, but an inn in which we eat and sleep, expecting to be on our journey tomorrow.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; grief, crying, and pain will be no more, because the previous things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)

When there shall be a new heaven and a new earth and the church will be in her new and glorified condition, then there will be no need for all those purifying forces which have been so active here below. There will be no death, sorrow, crying, pain, nor trial of any kind; all shall be happiness for all shall be holiness. And then, as God dwelled among his people in the wilderness, and as Jesus Christ, the Word, was made flesh and dwelled among us, and we beheld his glory, so in that new world God will reveal himself to his people by a special indwelling and a distinct nearness.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Mubi of Chad.

The Mubi live in 135 small, close-knit villages. The villages each share a herd of cattle, which is their primary job. The gospel needs to spread to each of these villages.

Pray that healthy churches would be planted among the Mubi, who can spread the gospel to other Mubi villages.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

A Unique Bible Study for Women*

Let’s face it: a lot of resources on sexual sin and purity for women are… not great.

But my friends at Harvest USA have put together a valuable resource for women struggling with sexual sin or discipling someone who is.

This study is unique for three reasons:

  1. It is solid, biblical counsel from beginning to end (there is no fluff or condescending illustrations.)

  2. It actually encourages honesty about sexual sin (this isn’t an issue for guys only.)

  3. It will point you to the biblical model for REAL change (not just behavior modification and internet filters)

You can go through this study alone, one-on-one, or with a small group of women. I can’t wait to hear about how he uses this free Bible study to help you along your journey.
