DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Oh, the joy of knowing that we are yours forever, yours in the trials of life, and yours in the last dread trial of deaths and then yours in resurrection, yours throughout eternity. We do therefore worship you, O God, not as a constraining nor under terror or pressure, but cheerfully and gladly, ascribing unto you praise, and power, and dominion, and glory, and honor, world without end.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“… but the word of the Lord endures forever. And this word is the gospel that was proclaimed to you.” (1 Peter 1:25)
Now, the gospel is of use to us because it is not of human origin. If it were of the flesh, all it could do for us would not land us beyond the flesh. But the gospel of Jesus Christ is superhuman, divine, and spiritual. In its conception it was of God. Its great gift, even the Savior, is a divine gift, and all its teachings are full of deity. If you believe a gospel that you have thought out for yourself, or a philosophical gospel that comes from the brain of man, it is of the flesh, and will wither, and you will die and be lost through trusting in it. The only word that can bless you and be a seed in your soul must be the living and incorruptible word of the eternal Spirit.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Christmas Gift Idea for Christian Men
I’m really hoping that my new resource, The God Centered Husband One-Year Journal will help a lot of Christian men grow as husbands in 2024.
This hands-on resource gives men a blank page to fill out every week to help them consider what burdens their wife will have this week and how they can help her.
It also has a lot of bonus features, like 52 conversation starters for couples, a one-year Bible reading plan, weekly devotionals to remind you of Jesus’ love for imperfect husbands.
I hope you’ll grab one for yourself (your wife will thank you later!)
And if you aren’t a husband, I hope you’ll buy copies for all of the married Christian men on your shopping list.
I think this resource will really make a difference in a lot of marriages, so I hope you’ll grab a copy today!
