DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
We adore the Most High as we take a look back at all his dealings with us. You have dealt well with your servants, according to your word. We have often provoked you, but you have as often forgiven us; we have started aside like a deceitful bow, but you have been faithful to your every word of promise. We have been feeble and weak, and are not worthy of your regard, but you have shown yourself strong on the behalf of those who serve you. The right hand of the Lord is exalted, the right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“For the Lord is good, and his faithful love endures forever; his faithfulness, through all generations.” (Psalm 100:5)
This sums up his character and contains a mass of reasons for praise. He is good, gracious, kind, bountiful, loving; yes, God is love. He who does not praise the good is not good himself. The kind of praise taught in this psalm, that of joy and gladness, is most fitly urged upon us by an argument from the goodness of God.

Is Jesus the Lord of your whole life?*
So many Christians today have a compartmentalized view of Jesus — we worship him on Sunday and pray in the morning, but he doesn’t REALLY have much impact on 99% of our lives.
Of course, following Jesus in every sphere of our lives sounds really good, but what does it actually look like?
