Boldness At The Throne of Grace, by Charles Spurgeon
This evening I've been reading a hundred-year-old prayer written by
Charles Spurgeon. After discussing the wonder of our forgiveness --- sin
confessed / ransom accepted / peace with God, he focuses our attention
on our Lord Jesus. "May we never take our eyes away from His divine
person, from His infinite merit, from His finished work, from His living
power, or from the expectancy of His speedy coming to "judge the world
with righteousness, and the people with His truth." (Psalm 96:13)
"Bless all your people with some special gift. If we might make a
choice of one, it would be this: 'Make us alive according to Your
word.' (Psalm 119:25) We have life. Give it to us more abundantly. Oh,
that we might have so much life that out of the midst of us there might
'flow rivers of living water.' Lord, make us useful. Dear Savior, use
the very least among us. Take the one talent and let it be invested for
interest for the great Father.
May it please You to show each one of us what You would have us to
do. In our families, in our businesses, in the walks of ordinary life,
may we be serving the Lord. May we often speak a word for His name and
help in some way to scatter the light among the ever growing darkness.
Before we go to be with You, may we have sown some seed that we will
bring with us on our shoulders in the form of sheaves of blessing."
