DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
We praise you for many who are striving to walk as Christ walked, and who are also trying to bring others to Christ. O Lord help us in this struggle after holiness and usefulness; and as you have given to many the desire of their hearts in this respect up to a certain measure; now enlarge their hearts, and give them more both of holiness and usefulness.
Oh, give us to be like trees planted by the rivers of water, that we ourselves may be vigorous, and then help us to bring forth abundant fruit according to our season, to the praise and glory of God.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Then he speaks to them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath…” (Psalm 2:5)
After he has laughed he shall speak; he needs not smite; the breath of his lips is enough. At the moment when their power is at its height, and their fury most violent, then shall his Word go forth against them.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Men, pay attention to your wife
A lot of men have no idea what challenges, burdens, and worries their wives experience every day. They aren’t serving their wives well, because they have no idea what’s going on in their wives’ lives beyond a surface level.
That’s why I created The God Centered Husband One-Year Journal, a simple, hands-on resource to help men pursue God and their wives.
The core of the journal is 52 weekly page templates to take inventory of your marriage each week. These prompts will encourage you to consider your wife, her burdens, and how you can serve her.
If you want to grow as a husband in the new year, I hope you’ll grab a copy today.
