DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are of clean heart. Your people desire to set their seal to this, and to acknowledge that you are overflowing goodness. O blessed God, you have remembered both our temporal and our spiritual wants; you have lifted us up from the gates of the grave, delivered our soul from death, our eyes from tears, and our feet from falling.
You have dealt well with your servants, O Lord, according to your Word. There is none like the God of Jeshurun (Deuteronomy 33:26), there is none that deals so bountifully; for as high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are his thoughts above our thoughts and his ways above our ways.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your aid, the clouds in his majesty.” (Deuteronomy 33:26)
Notice how near God is said to be to his people. He is described as being above us with his divine power. Faith can hear the tramp of the celestial cavalry above our heads. He is all around us so that we are encompassed with God—with the glorious presence of his mighty love. He is above, beneath, before, and all around us. He never forsakes us, for in him we live, move, and have our being. Let us rejoice, therefore, in our Lord’s nearness.

Be amazed by our great God.
Our view of God is much too small, much too tame. The Bible reveals a ravishing, glorious, fear-inspiring, awesome picture of the God who created all things and sits in the heavens. If you want to better understand God’s glorious infinity, read None Like Him by Jen Wilkin.
In each chapter, Jen unpacks one of God’s incommunicable attributes — the attributes that make God unlike us — and discusses how knowing each of these attributes of God will change our lives. This is biblical, rich, glorious theology.
