DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
May every child of yours have his conscience purged from dead works to serve the true and living God. May there be no cloud between us and our heavenly Father; nay, not even a mist, not even the morning mist that is soon gone. May we walk in the light as God is in the light. May our fellowship with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ, be unquestionable; may it be fuel; may it fill us with joy; may it be a most real fact this day; may we enjoy it to the full, knowing whom we have believed, knowing who is our Father, knowing who it is that dwells in us, even the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21)
This is a grand moral motive for keeping our desires above groveling objects. The heart must and will go in the direction of that which we count precious. The whole man will be transformed into the likeness of that for which he lives. Where we place our treasures our thoughts will naturally fly. It will be wise to let all that we have act as magnets to draw us in the right direction. If our very best things are in heaven, our very best thoughts will fly in the same direction: but if our choicest possessions are of the earth, our heart will be earth-bound.

Looking at college? Look to Spurgeon*
College can be a great time for any student to deepen their faith and their walk with Jesus, and I think Spurgeon College in Kansas City, MO is a great place to do it.
Spurgeon College (named after Charles Spurgeon) exists “For the Kingdom.”
No matter what a student is studying, they will be given a vision to give their college years — and the rest of their lives — to God’s purposes.
If you’re looking at Christian colleges now (for yourself or someone else), this is the perfect time to check out Spurgeon College.
This month (They’re calling it Spurgeon College Month 🎉), SC is giving away some great prizes to lucky winners who apply (or even just request more information!)
