DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Great God of the Sabbath, and Lord of the assemblies of Israel, we worship you, Most High, the Lord of Hosts, God all-sufficient. Our spirits bow into the dust before the infinite majesty of the All-in-All. The Lord lives. God is. We are but as passing shadows and things of an hour; but, O God, you are forever and ever, and our spirits worship you.

We ask this great favor at your hands, that the Lord Jesus Christ may stand among us by his spiritual presence, and that we may all of us be especially conscious that he is fulfilling his promise, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“I will sing of faithful love and justice; I will sing praise to you, LORD.” (Psalm 101:1)

The Lord shall have all our praise. The secondary agents of either the mercy or the judgment must hold a very subordinate place in our memory, and the Lord alone must be hymned by our heart. Our soul’s sole worship must be the lauding of the Lord. The Psalmist forsakes the minor key and resolves that, come what may, he will sing, and sing to the Lord too, whatever others might do.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

A simple read to help you (and others!) love your church more

Whether your church is thriving or in a season of difficulty, we all need to grow to love our local church family more. This is one of the most practical things you can do to grow in godliness.

And a great resource for helping you along the way is Love Your Church by Tony Merida. This is a new book that outlines eight great things about being a church member. I’m so thankful for the book’s faithfulness to Scripture and practical application.

Because the book is short, it’s a great resource to give to someone else to help them grow their own love for the church. If you know someone who you long to see more connected to the church, I encourage you to grab a copy of this book for them.

The book is simple and short. I promise you, if you will read this book and apply it’s lessons to your own local church, you will grow in love for your church family and grow in godliness as a result.
