DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Oh Lord, in looking back, we are obliged to remember with the greatest gratitude, the many occasions in which you have heard our cry. We have been brought into deep distress, and our heart has sunk within us, and then have we cried to you, and you have never refused to hear us. The prayers of our lusts you have rejected, but the prayers of our necessities you have granted; not one good thing has failed of all that you have promised (Joshua 21:45).
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“None of the good promises the LORD had made to the house of Israel failed. Everything was fulfilled.” (Joshua 21:45)
God has fulfilled many promises to his Israel: The Gift of Jesus, no destruction by flood, to Gideon, David, and the apostles. He promised to hear prayer, to comfort, to bless, instruct, strengthen, support, and provide for you, and he has done it.
Believe, then, his promise: That Jesus shall be satisfied, that you shall be heard, that you shall persevere, and that you shall inherit glory.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE*
Be amazed by our great God.
Our view of God is much too small, much too tame. The Bible reveals a ravishing, glorious, fear-inspiring, awesome picture of the God who created all things and sits in the heavens. If you want to better understand God’s glorious infinity, read None Like Him by Jen Wilkin.
In each chapter, Jen unpacks one of God’s incommunicable attributes — the attributes that make God unlike us — and discusses how knowing each of these attributes of God will change our lives. This is biblical, rich, glorious theology.
