DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Lord, make us useful to your own children who have backslidden. May we be as Peter was, to whom you said, “when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers” (Luke 22:32). O Lord, make us useful among backsliders—this very day may some of us be enabled to work somewhat toward the fetching up of the rear guard, of those that loiter and linger, that the whole army of Christ may quicken its pace and march to victory.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23:6)
There are no ifs, no doubts, no fears about the matter: “Surely.” These two holy angels shall watch over my footsteps, and track me wherever I go;—“goodness” to preserve me, and “mercy” to pardon me!—“goodness” to supply my needs, and “mercy” to blot out my sins.
