DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Gracious God, the highest pleasure we anticipate is that of worshiping you to perfection with cherubim and seraphim and all the host redeemed by blood, with legions of angels and creatures innumerable we hope to pour out day without night continually songs of adoring joy, and even now one of our nearest approaches to heaven is in sacred song. O you, our supreme delight, our inheritance, our light, our life, our all; we can truly say we delight in God.
O blessed One, we love your Word, we love your House. And you yourself, what shall we say of you! Take us more and more unto yourself through Jesus Christ the Mediator, and let our hearts be more and more taken up with you.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, wiping out all evildoers from the LORD’s city.” (Psalm 101:8)
When our Lord comes in judgment, this verse will be fulfilled on a large scale; until then he sinks the judge in the Savior, and bids men leave their sins and find pardon.
Under the gospel we also are bidden to suffer long, and to be kind, even to the unthankful and the evil; but the office of the magistrate is of another kind, and he must have a sterner eye to justice than would be proper in private persons. Is he not to be a terror to evildoers?
