Prayer and Praise – Charles Spurgeon
Prayer, like the root of a tree, seeks for and finds nutriment; praise, like the fruit, renders a revenue to the owner of the vineyard. Prayer is for ourselves; praise is for God. Let us never be so selfish as to abound in the one and fail in the other.

Scripture Reading is our Spiritual Mealtime – Charles Spurgeon
Scripture reading is our spiritual meal-time. Sound the gong and call in every faculty to the Lord’s own table to feast upon the precious meat which is now to be partaken of; or, rather, ring the church bell as for worship, for the studying of the Holy Scripture ought to be as solemn a deed as when we sing the hymns upon the Sabbath day in the courts of Lord’s house.

Rejoice in the Lord – Charles Spurgeon
Did you rejoice in the Lord this morning when you woke? It is very sweet to wake up and hear the birds singing within your heart, but you cannot maintain that joy, no not even for an hour, no matter what you do. ‘All my springs are in thee’ (Psalm 87:7), my God, and if I am to joy and rejoice, You must anoint me continually with ‘the oil of gladness’ (Psalm 45:7).
– Charles Spurgeon –
