DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Remember your people in their families and convert their children; give us help and strength; spare precious lives that are in danger; be gracious to any that are dying; may the life of God swallow up the death of the body. Prepare us all for your glorious arrival; keep us waiting and watching, and do come quickly to our heart’s desire, for we pray “your kingdom come, your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven, for yours is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever and ever.”
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Day after day they pour out speech; night after night they communicate knowledge.” (Psalm 19:2)
The witnesses above [the heavens, testifying to the glory of God] cannot be slain or silenced; from their elevated seats they constantly preach the knowledge of God, undeterred and unbiassed by the judgments of men. Even the changes of alternating night and day are mutely eloquent, and light and shade equally reveal the Invisible One; let the changes of our circumstances do the same, and while we bless the God of our days of joy, let us also extol him who gives “songs in the night.”
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Get your anger under control.
If you’re feeling angry in your workplace, home, or anywhere, I want to recommend a short booklet to you, Help! My Anger is Out of Control by Jim Newheiser.
This booklet is packed with biblical truth to help us understand and address anger in a way that glorifies God and depends on Christ. I’m exaggerating when I say that this book saved my life and my marriage.
Whether you want to get your own anger under control or help someone else with their anger, Help! My Anger is Out of Control is a great resource.
