There are a few books of compiled devotions by Charles Spurgeon that I love and have quoted here on occasion. One is called "Morning by Morning" and the other "Morning and Evening". He uses Isaiah 1:4 and Psalm 63:5 & 6 as his references for the books. However, as I read Ezekiel recently, I came upon this: "And you shall provide a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to the LORD daily; morning by morning you shall provide it. Also you shall provide a grain offering with it morning by morning, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour, a grain offering to the LORD continually by a perpetual ordinance. Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering." Ezekiel 46:13-15
Spurgeon's premise for his devotions is our need to seek, listen, meditate and be satisfied with God daily. God is worthy to be worshipped! Daily, moment by moment, morning by morning we must be about the business of seeking Him and adoring Him! It is our "offering" and must be a "perpetual ordinance". And the Lamb has been provided. He provided Himself. Let us offer Him the praise He deserves thus making out of us the man to be used for the work ahead: changing the world.
