DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Oh, what have you done for us, great God? What a wondrous grace is this; and what have you prepared for us? Who can tell what you have laid up for those who fear you, among the sons of men? We now approach you, Lord, with that fatherly fear which well becomes dear children who are conscious of a thousand transgressions. Yet we approach you with that fatherly boldness which is born of a sense of love, and daily grows upon mercies perpetually given.

We worship you, oh God our Father, with all our heart, and soul, and strength. We love you; we trust you; we delight in you; you are all in all to us.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“I have written to you, children, because you have come to know the Father.” (1 John 2:14)

The tiniest babe in the family of God knows the Father, for, as we have seen, his sins are forgiven him (1 John 2:12). By whom is that pardon given? Why, by the Father. Therefore, he who has had his sins forgiven necessarily knows the Father. All the philosophers in the world do not know so much of the Father God as a forgiven sinner knows. The very least child of grace, having received the forgiveness of sin, knows the Father in this most important sense.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Know (and enjoy) God the Father

This week, Pray with Spurgeon is focusing on God the Father. If you want to increase your understanding of what it means for God to be your Father (and how God the Father is different from God the Son and God the Spirit), a great place to start is Experiencing the Trinity: The Grace of God for the People of God by Joe Thorn.

This book is fifty short devotionals, each covering one aspect of God’s character and work. The book is divided into three sections: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, with each devotional reflecting on a different aspect of that person’s glory.

This daily devotional is a breath of fresh air — add it to your daily reading and you will grow your knowledge of God and your love for God. I hope you’ll grab a copy today.
