DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
We cry to you for holiness. You know that we do not expect to be saved by it; but we do look upon it as salvation, to be saved from sin, to be delivered from corruption; to be emancipated from the bondage of the evil is the great thought of our spirit, and we look forward to heaven with this as one of its highest felicities, that we shall be without fault before the throne of God, and that nothing that defiles shall ever enter there.
O Lamb of God, by whom we have been redeemed from sin and washed from uncleanness, will you graciously daily wash our feet, that we may be clean every whit, and may enter in through the gates into the city, and be among those of whom it is written—“They shall walk with me in white for they are worthy.”
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Serve with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to people…” (Ephesians 6:7)
Our work for Jesus must be the outgrowth of the soil of the heart. Our service must not be performed as a matter of routine. There must be vigor, power, freshness, reality, eagerness, and warmth about it; or it will be good for nothing. No fish ever came upon God’s altar because it could not come there alive. The Lord wants none of our dead, heartless worship.
