DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Oh, we can declare that we love you, though we wish to love you even more. You are exceedingly precious to us. There is nothing on earth like you. For the love of you name, we will live and die. If we believe we love you more than we actually do, we pray that our love for you may truly surpass our perception. Take these hearts completely and unite them with your own. Be our heart, soul, life, and everything, for whom do we have in heaven but you? There is no one on earth we desire besides you.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“The LORD of Armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold.” (Psalm 46:11)
This is a truth that never grows tiresome for believers. It is a fact too often forgotten, and a precious privilege that cannot be contemplated enough. Reader, is the Lord on your side? Is Emmanuel, God with us, your Redeemer? Is there a covenant between you and God, as there was between God and Jacob? If so, you are thrice blessed. Express your joy through sacred songs, and in times of trouble, take courage and continue making music for your God.
