DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Look upon your church with mercy, Lord. Revive your churches, for we fear that they have become lukewarm like the Laodicean church. Come, Lord, like a live coal from the altar, and set your churches ablaze once again. We long for the days of the Son of Man, times of refreshing! We yearn to see millions of souls converted to God. We desire to witness the entire church being revived and empowered by the indwelling Spirit. You are capable of doing it, Lord. Do it for the sake of your name and your glory.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear him.” (Psalm 67:7)
Even those farthest away will fear him. The ends of the earth will put an end to their idolatry and worship their God. All tribes, without exception, will experience a sacred awe of the God of Israel. Ignorance will be dispelled, insolence subdued, injustice banished, idolatry abhorred, and the love, light, life, and liberty of the Lord will encompass all. The Lord himself will be the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Amen and amen.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Teach the wonder of God to children
The best strategy for protecting our children from false teaching is to teach them theology. Theology, properly taught, will awaken wonder and awe in any child’s heart.
A great resource for teaching theology to children (ages 7-13) is Emblems of the Infinite King. The book describes crucial, biblical doctrines about God with beautiful text and stunning illustrations. I love reading this book to my kids, but I also love reading it on my own. 🤓
Awaken your children to the wonder of God and invite them to approach his throne with fear and trembling through Emblems of the Infinite King.
