DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
God bless his dear people with patience; make patience have her perfect work that we may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. The Lord give us perfect consecration, and a holy waiting for his coming. May we be looking for the appearing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and so always be on the watch for the setting loose of earthly things, finding our joy not here nor there, but in him and waiting for his appearing.
Revive your church at this time. Oh that there would come a heavenly wind to blow over your fainting church! Lord, she has been ill-fed of late; she has eaten ashes with her bread, false doctrine with your truth. Come and purge away false doctrine and error, and may your own truth be proclaimed again. Then men, feeding upon it, shall have the old gladness, the old holiness, the old service of God.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, detesting one another.” (Titus 3:3)
That is what we were once; and if the grace of God has made a change in us, we must not boast, we must not censure others, we must not set up as self-righteous judges of others. Oh, no! our action must be the very reverse of all this.

My Bible Study for Husbands
If you’ve made any New Years Resolutions to grow as a husband, I have a resource that I think can help.
Husbands, we are called to lay down our lives in service for our wives — how can we grow to be the sacrificial leader that God has called us to be?
I’ve created a resource, The God Centered Husband Bible Study Workbook to help husbands understand God’s call on their lives and equip them to follow it.
This is a simple, hands-on Bible study workbook for married guys. It will walk you through six passages of Scripture about being a husband and challenge you to serve your wife sacrificially, lead her consistently, and show her the character of God.
Every man lives for something. This Bible study will challenge you to stop living for yourself, your wife, or your career, and live for God more faithfully.
Perfect for individual, small group, or one-on-one Bible study, my prayer is that this Bible study will help you become the husband that God has called you to be.
If you’re a husband, grab a copy for yourself and a guy you know.
If you’re a wife, grab a copy for your husband.
(Trust me, he’ll thank you)
