DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Lord, make us a holy people. May we not only have the name of Christians, but may we have the life of Christians. Lord, forgive the inconsistent ones. Sanctify, we pray, the consecrated ones, and if any are unconsecrated, take them today; make them to feel that they are not their own, but are bought with a price.
Father, bless those new Christians who are newly added to us. May they be good and strong. May the Spirit of God build them up, and make them to be temples for his own indwelling. Bless all the work done by my church, in every department.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Sing for joy to God our strength; shout in triumph to the God of Jacob.” (Psalm 81:1)
The Lord was the strength of his people in delivering them out of Egypt with a high hand, and also in sustaining them in the wilderness, placing them in Canaan, preserving them from their foes, and giving them victory. To whom do men give honor but to those upon whom they rely, therefore let us sing aloud unto our God, who is our strength and our song.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Spend the New Year with Spurgeon, trusting God’s promises
Spurgeon frequently said that God’s promises are like checks. And because God is never lacking in resources, his account is always full and his checks never bounce.
Spurgeon’s classic devotional, The Cheque Book of the Bank of Faith, contains 365 readings (one for each day of the year) to help you trust and treasure God’s promises.
Reading through The Cheque Book in 2023 will definitely encourage you.
