Spurgeon’s devotional for today contains thoughts that are very relevant for Easter; also, thoughts that might provide much comfort to anyone struggling with sin; the latter are found in the evening part of this post.
Spurgeon’s words for today offer a hopeful perspective for running the Christian race and insight into where one’s help lies.
Spurgeon’s Morning commentary is on the following verse: “Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.” — Heb_5:8. His Evening thoughts are about this verse: Song of Solomon 5:6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. [The morning thoughts are in line with the MLJ sermon which will be posted later today.]
Spurgeon’s words in today’s devotional are very encouraging, as usual. But not all his devotionals are equally inspiring, encouraging…, this one is among the best I have read. Furthermore, it overlaps with the last post by MLJ, that is why I’m posting it too.

Spurgeon’s thoughts today are about the following verses: 2 Corinthians 12:9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. AND Psalm 36:8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
The MORNING entry emphasizes that believers should solely rely on God for their needs, both earthly and spiritual, expecting His constant grace and future heavenly rewards. This includes anticipating angelic escorts at death and eternal glory in His presence. The EVENING entry uses the story of Elijah and the widow to illustrate God’s faithfulness in meeting daily needs. Just as her flour and oil never ran out, believers can trust that God’s grace will perpetually supply their necessities. This unwavering divine support surpasses any earthly resource, offering continuous comfort and encouragement through Christ.
Spurgeon’s morning thoughts indicate how it is that the Lord works in a believer concerning salvation and sanctification; evening thoughts focus on sin and explain that the work of the Holy Spirit is to enable us to see it and realize that we are lepers, covered in sin without Christ. [His words are very different from my description.]
This post contains Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening thoughts devotionals for Feb. 19: The morning verse is from Ezekiel, I think it is the most explicit verse in the Bible about God requiring His children to pray if their needs will be met by Him…. The evening thoughts are about Andrew first telling Peter when he had found the Messiah; Spurgeon applied that to witnessing the gospel to those nearest first….
What is the role that singing is supposed to play in the church? What are the Lord’s instructions for how He is to be praised through song? In this sermon on Ephesians 5:19 titled “Worship in the Spirit,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones answers these questions and more. In this passage, Paul is concerned with how the Holy Spirit is manifested when believers gather together for worship. Did Paul mean to prescribe the exact style of worship that every church should have? No….
