DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
O Lord, bring the multitudes of the working men to listen to the gospel. Break in, we pray, upon their stolid indifference; for how many there are of them who have not yet risen from their beds this morning, who have not thought of coming up to any place of worship—Lord give them a love for your house, a desire to hear your gospel.
And then, will you look upon the poor rich who, so many of them, know nothing about you, and are worshipping their own wealth.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:2)
He would sooner unmake them than desert his people. He that made heaven and earth could certainly find shelter for us either in heaven or in earth. He cannot, he will not leave us; he will make room for us in heaven when there is no room for us here. What a blessed thing it is to look right away from the creature to the Creator! The creature may fail you, but the Creator is an ever-springing well of all-sufficient grace.
