DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
If ever, even for a moment, the thought of complaint should flit across our spirit, we beg to be forgiven. Shall a living man complain? Surely it is such a mercy that we are yet alive; that we still have our reason; that we are not cast away for ever into hopeless misery.
It is such grace on your part, that long as we live, we will bless your name, yes, while immortality endures! We desire that on our dying bed, if it should please you, we may die singing. We would wish that our first song in heaven should be “Hallelujah to him who has loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood; unto him be glory now and forever.” O Lord, we would bring before you now our sins and our sorrows.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Some wandered in the desolate wilderness, finding no way to a city where they could live.” (Psalm 107:4)
They were lost in the worst possible place, even as the sinner is who is lost in sin; they wandered up and down in vain searches and researches as a sinner does when he is awakened and sees his lost estate; but it ended in nothing, for they still continued in the wilderness, though they had hoped to escape from it.
They found no city. How could they? There was none. Israel in the wilderness lived in tents, and enjoyed none of the comforts of settled life; wanderers in the Sahara find no town or village. Men when under distress of soul find nothing to rest upon, no comfort and no peace; their efforts after salvation are many, weary, and disappointing, and the dread solitude of their hearts fills them with dire distress.
