DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Permit us, gracious Father, to come very near to you. May the drawings of the Divine Spirit now sweetly attract us to God; and, most blessed Jesus, fulfill your office as Mediator, bring us now near to God by your precious blood. Oh, for the power to pray rightly this morning! May I, your servant, have it largely, that he may be able to lead all this people, by the power of the Spirit, close to the mercy-seat.
We adore and bless and magnify our God; not only, O God, for what you are to us, but for what you are in yourself, for you are incomparably glorious. In you, all perfections shine.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Happy are the people who know the joyful shout; LORD, they walk in the light from your face.” (Psalm 89:15)
The practical effect of a saving knowledge of the gospel is a holy walk, a walk of communion with God. Dear friends, do you walk in that way? Do you know the joyful sound? Can you discern the difference between the true and the false gospel? Can you distinguish the contrast between the harmonies of the one and the discords of the other? Do you know the inner secret of the heavenly music? Has it ever vibrated in your own souls? Happy are you if this is the case with you.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Study (the entire Bible) with Spurgeon*
Good study Bibles have been an incredible blessing to me throughout my Christian life. They are incredible tools for understanding and applying the Bible.
One of my favorite study Bibles is The Spurgeon Study Bible. This is a great tool for deepening your understanding of Scripture.
Two great features: there are hundreds of study notes taken from Spurgeon’s sermons throughout the Bible, and there are short introductions by Spurgeon on every book of the Bible. This is a great way to get a board overview or detailed reflection, right from Spurgeon, on any section of Scripture.
The Spurgeon Study Bible is a great resource for Scripture study. And this month only, they are 50% off when you use promo code SPURGEONBOOKS. I hope you’ll grab one today.
