DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
With our whole heart many of us ask you to bless our country, and spare it from the horrible evils of war. O God of peace, send us peace always, by all means. Sword of the Lord rest and be quiet now; and may the gospel with its benign influences spread over all nations, until there shall be no selfish clutching, no rapacious grasping at territories, no oppression of one race by another.
May the laws of the King of Peace be universally proclaimed, and obeyed even by those who perhaps yield not their hearts to his sway; for we do know, great King, that while you have a special kingdom in your people, yet the Lord has given you power over all flesh; and we pray this may be recognized, and we may see it. Your kingdom come, O Jesus; may your kingdom come—your Father’s kingdom; and let his will be done on earth as it is in heaven; for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, ‘This man, if he were a prophet, would know who and what kind of woman this is who is touching him—she’s a sinner!’” (Luke 7:39)
She is a sinner, and does he let her touch him, and kiss his feet, and show such tokens of affection? What man must he be who allows a harlot’s kiss, even though it be upon his feet? Ah! poor foolish Pharisee! He judged according to the sight of the eye, or else he might have known that the best of men would never be angry at a harlot’s tears, for the tears of repentance, come from whatever heart they may, are always like diamonds in the esteem of those who judge rightly.
