DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Jesus, once the dying Savior, but now risen and ascended, will you not look down on us? We do believe that you can save. You are very God of very God; there is nothing impossible with you. Here on your cross we hang; into your hands we give our spirits without reserve.
We have no hope but in you, for we believe that you are mighty to save, and that you can save us, even us. Let each man say—“Even me; even me,” and may there be, this morning, in every individual, a distinct and personal putting himself into the hands of the great Surety, by an act of simple faith. “Lord save me, or I perish.” “God be merciful to me, a sinner.” Let this be the prayer of each heart this morning.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“God, you have taught me from my youth, and I still proclaim your wondrous works.” (Psalm 71:17)
When David became a man, even when he became a king, he still continued to be taught by God. With a crown on his head, he was still a scholar and disciple of the great God. Waving a scepter, he was still nothing but a child before a father when he thought of God. We find him, as a gray-headed man, still penning his psalms and being taught by God—perhaps in his last days learning most sorrowfully, staining his book with tears, discovering more of himself and more of the mercy of God, more of the power of temptation and more of the power of the sacrifice that puts away sin—more of the wanderings of his heart and more of that free Spirit who upholds us and makes us walk in the ways of God. He was always being educated. A Christian has never finished his education till he stands before the golden throne of God.
