DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
We wish we knew how to do something for you. We pray that we may be helped to do so before we die; yes, that every flying hour may confess that we have brought your gospel some renown; that we may so live as to extend the Redeemer’s kingdom at least in some little measure; that ours may not be a fruitless, wasted life; that no faculty of ours may lay by and rust; but to the utmost of our capacity may we be helped of the Divine Spirit to spend our whole life in real adoration.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?” (Psalm 2:1)
We see the heathen raging, roaring like the sea, tossed to and fro with restless waves, as the ocean in a storm; and then we mark the people in their hearts imagining a vain thing against God. Where there is much rage there is generally some folly, and in this case there is an excess of it. Note, that the commotion is not caused by the people only, but their leaders foment the rebellion.

The New Testament is Amazing — So Dive in Deep*
On every page of the New Testament, the glory of Jesus is revealed to us with crystal clarity. We need to discipline ourselves to DIVE deep into the NT — every part of it — to see and savor Jesus more.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been REALLY encouraged by a new (FREE) resource from my friends at Midwestern Seminary.
