DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Dear Savior, it brings us joy to know that you are “very God of very God,” truly divine, and also fully human, born of a woman. We worship you for this. We rejoice in having you as our brother, who was born for adversity. It is a great privilege to know that you are sitting at the right hand of God, interceding for us every day. Your passion was once, but its influence is forever. Although you offered yourself as a sacrifice only once, you present it day and night on behalf of those who come to God through you.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“The upright see it and rejoice, and all injustice shuts its mouth.” (Psalm 107:42)
Divine providence causes joy to God’s true people; they see the hand of the Lord in all things, and delight to study the ways of his justice and of his grace.
“And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.” What can she say? God’s providence is often so conclusive in its arguments of fact, that there is no replying or questioning. It is not long that the impudence of ungodliness can be quiet, but when God’s judgments are abroad it is driven to hold its tongue.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Mothering in light of eternity
As we look forward to Mother’s Day this weekend, I’m filled with thankfulness for the faithful Christian mothers I know.
Moms, I know that your work is uniquely challenging. But I also know that it is worth it. And so I put together a resource to help you see your parenting with an eternal perspective.
Frequently while preaching, Spurgeon would address mothers with particular application from the Scriptures. I compiled some of the best of these addresses into a short, simple devotional, Letters to Mom.
As a Mother’s Day gift to you, you can get this devotional for FREE. I pray that Spurgeon’s words, and the truth of Scripture, will encourage you.
