DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

We pray with great earnestness that you would bless our church. We thank you for additions constantly made to our members; we pray that they may be good men, and true, holy women, in their very hearts. Lord, keep those that are in membership. Let us not fall; let us not fall. Make us all useful.

Keep the church in unity, peace and concord, and give it zeal and passionate longing for the conversion of the souls of men. May many be brought in who now think nothing of you. While we are preaching, may the Holy Spirit be working, may souls be saved by thousands.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Let the house of Aaron say, ‘His faithful love endures forever.’” (Psalm 118:3)

The sons of Aaron were specially set apart to come nearest to God, and it was only because of his mercy that they were enabled to live in the presence of the thrice holy Lord, who is a consuming fire. Every time the morning and evening lamb was sacrificed, the priests saw the continual mercy of the Lord. When the high priest went in unto the holy place and came forth accepted, he might, above all men, sing of the eternal mercy.

Our Lord Jesus, having made all his people priests unto God, may well call upon us in that capacity to magnify the everlasting mercy of the Most High. Can any one of the royal priesthood be silent?

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

A great memoir to fill you with hope

Recently, I read Everything Sad is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri, after having the book recommended to me by tons of sources and individuals — Christians and non-Christians.

The book is a memoir about a refugee family who had to flee from their homeland in Iran because they were persecuted for their Christian faith.

This is an absolutely breathtaking read that I think will bless and benefit every Christian. It is a great testimony of God’s work around the world and a beautiful example of Christian hope. This book will also expose you to the experience of refugees and persecuted Christians, filling you with compassion.

Nayeri writes from the perspective of his 12-year-old self, and this book is an absolutely incredible patchwork of his own experiences, Persian myths, and cultural analysis.

I know this book will bless you, so I hope you’ll grab a copy today.
