DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Oh Lord, we would begin our praise by the acknowledgment of our natural condition; we would remember the miry clay, and the rock out of which we were made, for we were “by nature children of wrath even as others.” Well do we remember when we felt this, and when the bitterness and gall were in our mouths, of which we had to drink both day and night.
How heavy was the load of sin! All our thoughts were engrossed with that sense of pressure and of dread. We looked on the right hand and there was none, and on the left and we found no helper; but then you yourself delivered us by leading us to cast a faith-look to the Divine, Only begotten, and crucified Son.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“For God’s wrath is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and unrighteousness of people who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth,” (Romans 1:18)
Sinful people do not let the truth work in their hearts. They do not allow it to operate in their minds; instead, they try to make it an excuse for their sins. Some people attend church for years; and the truth has pricked them, troubled them, made them lie awake at night; but they hold it down. When we are afraid of the truth, we would do well to be afraid of hell also! When we and the truth quarrel, we had better end our fighting soon, for we will have the worst of it if we do not yield.
