DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Lord, you know there are some people in my life who have not yet begun to live for you, and the prayer is now offered that they may today be born again. Others have been long in your ways, and are not weary of them. We sometimes wonder that you are not weary of us, but assuredly we delight ourselves in the ways of holiness more than ever we did. Oh, that our ways were directed to keep your statutes without slip or flaw. We wish we were perfectly obedient in thought, and word, and deed, entirely sanctified. We shall never be satisfied till we wake up in Christ’s likeness, the likeness of perfection itself.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“The precepts of the LORD are right, making the heart glad; the command of the LORD is radiant, making the eyes light up.” (Psalm 19:8)
Mark the progress; he who was converted was next made wise and is now made happy; that truth which makes the heart right then gives joy to the right heart. Free grace brings heart-joy. Earthborn mirth dwells on the lip, and flushes the bodily powers; but heavenly delights satisfy the inner nature, and fill the mental faculties to the brim. There is no cordial of comfort like that which is poured from the bottle of Scripture.
