From the Back Cover
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the "Prince of Preachers," was one of the great nineteenth-century preachers and authors. At age twenty-two he was the most popular preacher of his day. A strict Calvinist, he shared his pulpit with D. L. Moody, Hudson Taylor, and George Mueller, and was responsible for leading Oswald Chambers to Christ. This devotional treasury contains 366 daily readings gleaned from many of Spurgeon’s most memorable and accessible published works. Each page includes a brief yet profound spiritual thought along with related Scripture from the NIV. A "through-the-Bible-in-a-year" reading plan runs throughout the book. This collection is full of encouraging and challenging lessons gathered both from Scripture and from Spurgeon’s personal experiences. These classic writings will direct readers on a daily journey to deeper and more thoughtful levels of faith.

Foreword
Charles H. Spurgeon preached to upwards of ten million people
during his forty-plus years of ministry before joining his Lord in
1892. Thousands came to Christ under his evangelistic influence
while he served as the pastor of the New Park Street Chapel and
the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England. Without the
aid of microphones or modern technologies, Charles Spurgeon
pastored a flock of more than six thousand members, the largest
single congregation known to exist prior to his ministry. During
this same period he helped to start more than forty other churches
and oversaw the Pastor’s College and the Stockwell Orphanage.
During his lifetime, he was a major influence on the lives of many
great Christian leaders including Dwight Moody, Hudson Taylor,
George Mueller, and Oswald Chambers. Spurgeon’s writings
have sold millions worldwide including a continual republication
of more than two thousand of his best sermons. Although he is
often referred to as the “Prince of Preachers,” his words of Godgiven
insight have blessed many more laypeople than pastors.
Our hope in putting this devotional together is that many,
many more laypeople, pastors, and future Christians will be
encouraged and strengthened by these spiritual insights that have
been gathered from the best of the best of Charles Spurgeon’s
timeless sermons. Also included is an additional daily
Scripture reference at the bottom of each page that corresponds
to either an Old Testament or a New Testament book. If this additional
reading is followed, it will allow the reader to completely
read through the entire Bible in one year. May God continue to
bless each and every reader as they sit with this great pastor at the
Master’s feet!
Introduction
As I look back upon my own history, little did I dream when first
I opened my mouth for Christ, in a very humble way, that I
should have the honor of bringing thousands to Jesus. Blessed,
blessed be his name! He has the glory of it. But I cannot help
thinking that there must be some other lad here, such a one as I
was, whom he may call by his grace to do service for him. When
I had a letter sent to me by the deacons of the church at New Park
Street to come up to London to preach, I sent it back by the next
post, telling them that they had made a mistake, that I was a lad
of nineteen years of age, happy among a very poor and lowly
people in Cambridgeshire who loved me, and that I did not imagine
they could mean that I was to preach in London. But they
returned it to me and said that they knew all about it and that I
must come. Ah, what a story it has been since then of the goodness
and loving-kindness of the Lord!
CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON
FROM THE SERMON “THE LAD’S LOAVES”
Keep to the Word of God
Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians,
for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the
Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
ACTS 17:11
I commend scrupulous obedience to all of you, and especially to
those young people who have lately made a profession of their
faith in Christ. Do not be as your fathers were, for the generation
that is now going off the stage neither reads its Bible nor cares to
know the Lord’s will. If people searched the Scriptures, we should
find them come together in union; but the least-read book in all
the world, in proportion to its circulation, is the Word of God. It
is distributed everywhere, but it is read scarcely anywhere with
care and attention and with a sincere resolve to follow its precepts
at all hazards. You come and listen to us, and we give you little bits
taken from it here and there, but you do not get a fair notion of it
as a whole. How can you? Ministers make mistakes, and you follow
them without inquiry. One elects this leader and another that,
to the creation of varieties of opinions and even of sects, which
ought not to be, and would not be if all stood fast by the standard
of inspired truth. If the Bible were but read and prayed over,
many errors would die a speedy death, and others would be sorely
crippled. Had that inspired Book been read in the past, many
errors would never have arisen. Search you, then, the Book of
God, I pray you; and whatever you find there, be sure to attend
thereto. At all costs, keep to the Word of God.

He Will Supply All Your Needs
And my God will meet all your needs according
to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
PHILIPPIANS 4:19
If he will supply you, you will be supplied indeed, for God is infinite
in capacity. He is infinitely wise as to the manner of his
actions, and infinitely powerful as to the acts themselves. He
never sleeps nor tires; he is never absent from any place but is
always ready to help. Your needs come, perhaps, at very unexpected
times; they may occur in the midnight of despondency or
in the noonday of delight, but God is ever near to supply the surprising
need. He is everywhere present and everywhere omnipotent,
and he can supply all your needs, in every place, at every
time, to the fullest degree. Remember that “omnipotence has servants
everywhere” and that whenever God wishes to send you
aid, he can do it without pausing to ask, “How shall it be done?”
