Overview

In these turbulent times we need a strong anchor. This one-year devotional invites you to explore the anchoring wisdom of the Psalms, lovingly amplified through the insights of a spiritual giant, Charles Spurgeon. Written over a span of twenty years, his multi-volume commentary, The Treasury of David, is the basis for these daily meditations. Far from shallow sentimentalism, Spurgeon leads us into a greater understanding of the important biblical truths of the Christian faith. He also draws us deeper into the psalmists' interior lives. Spurgeon's own physical and emotional suffering heightened his awareness of the psalmists' personal struggles, prayers, and ultimate dependence on the Father. Never pulling us to despair, Spurgeon rather lifts our eyes to see how God works in our world and through his people. Through these reflections on the Psalms, Spurgeon invites us into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, an unswerving commitment to the church, an increasing love for a hurting world, and living for God's glory. Start your days with this devotional guide and you will be oft-reminded that we may have weeping in the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Praise for The Psalms for Everyday Living

We are living in troubled times and we need deeper resources of faith, not only to sustain us but to empower us for greater love and service. In this meditational reader—drawing on the wisdom of one of the giants of the Christian faith, Charles Spurgeon—the author has given us a resource that can guide us into the paths of righteousness, prayer, and fidelity.

Charles Spurgeon, the greatest preacher of the nineteenth century, was also a superb commentator on the Bible. His seven weighty volumes on the Psalms, The Treasury of David, form the inspiration for this devotional work. Spurgeon is quoted and his comments are summarized each day to bring out the pith of a passage from the Psalms. McKinley has composed a spiritual aid informed by Spurgeon’s penetration to the heart of Scripture.

This daily devotional reaches back to glean from a rich source that was written in an increasingly impoverished age. Charles Spurgeon challenged the skeptical modernist impulse of his day to provide an abundant feast of biblical doctrine. . . . Now in our needy day, McKinley has harvested for us some of the most pungent ideas embedded within that work and takes us on a soul-feast through the Psalms and Spurgeon at the same time. These are short and manageable for the beginning or ending of a day; but their economy of language and syntax does not mean they lack spiritual challenge combined with sustenance. Every sentence has a definite purpose to lead us to consider the burden of a word or phrase in the biblical text.
