Hallelujah, praise the living God for another day to pray for you all and be used by Him. Today I offer these lines from Charles H. Spurgeon.

“To burn the food of man is bad enough, but how much worse to destroy the soul! It may be useful to us to reflect how far we may have been guilty in the past, and to enquire whether, even in the present, there may not be evil in us which has a tendency to bring damage to the souls of our relatives, friends, and neighbors.”

Zechariah 8:17
New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁷ Also let none of you devise evil in your heart against another, and do not love perjury; for all these are what I hate,’ declares the Lord.”

Heavenly Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus, Your servant praises and worships You. 

God, we need You to keep us from evil and selfish ways. Help us guard our hearts against anything that does not glorify You. Thank You for guiding us into holiness and righteousness where we can experience life as You planned in fellowship with our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise the blood of Jesus, which can clean all sin and guilt, setting us free to experience the fullness of joy. I pray that we will all draw nearer to You and become more aware of all the riches we have in Christ Jesus.

Father, we thank You that You have heard us. Amen in Jesus’ name and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
