We are told by the Lord in Jeremiah not to glory in wisdom, might and riches, but in the things that the Lord delights: that He is the Lord who practice kindness, justice and righteousness.
We lift up our prayers for our nation and it’s government starting in Jeremiah 9:23-24 that we would each glory in the things that the Lord delights.
A Christian’s despair makes him pray; it is a despair of self. A worldling’s despair makes him rave against God and give up prayer. C.H. Spurgeon
Did you know Spurgeon and Marx were contemporaries? Both struggled for the souls of men in completely different ways and means, and in the same city at the same time.
It is extraordinary to me that both Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) lived and worked in the same city at the same time. Both were, in a sense, evangelists contending for the souls of men with their competing visions of humanity. Moreover, each was at the height of his powers at the same time as the other. While Marx was preaching salvation through bloody revolution, Spurgeon, on the other side of the city, was preaching salvation through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ.
