| DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON) |
| We cry to you to be delivered from the power of sin, to be delivered from the power of temptation outside of us, but especially from indwelling sin within us. Lord, purify our heads, hearts, and hands. If it is necessary that we should be put into the fire to be refined as silver is refined, we would even welcome the fire if we may be rid of the dross. Lord save us from sins of temperament and from sins of our surroundings. Save us from ourselves in every shape, and grant us especially to have the light of love strong within us. |
| Amen. |
| VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)“Flee from youthful passions…” (2 Timothy 2:22)What would you think of a man who went as near as he could to burning his house down, just to see how much fire it would stand? Or of one who cut himself with a knife to see how deep he could go without mortally wounding himself? Or of another who experimented as to how large a quantity of poison he could take?These are extreme follies, but not so great as that of a man who tries how much sin he may indulge in and yet be saved. Do not attempt such perilous experiments. “Come out from their midst and be separate … and do not touch what is unclean” (2 Corinthians 6:17). Shun with horror Satan’s old compromise; do not dream that you can love the world and yet have the love of the Father in you. |
Sometimes, you just need a little Charles Spurgeon in your day. He was called the prince of preachers for a reason. I hope this will uplift and inspire you today.
