  • MORNING & EVENING

    These words show us that contentment is not a natural propensity of man. “Ill weeds grow apace.” Covetousness, discontent, and murmuring are as natural to man as thorns are to the soil. We need not sow thistles and brambles; they come up naturally enough, because they are indigenous to earth: and so, we need not…

  • AM I MY BROTHER’S KEEPER?

    My Utmost For His Highest None of us liveth to himself. Romans 14:7. Has it ever dawned on you that you are responsible for other souls spiritually before God? For instance, if I allow any private deflection from God in my life, everyone about me suffers. We “sit together in heavenly places.” “Whether one member…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Heaven will be full of the ceaseless praises of Jesus. Eternity! thine unnumbered years shall speed their everlasting course, but forever and for ever, “to him be glory.” Is he not a “Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek”? “To him be glory.” Is he not king for ever?—King of kings and Lord of…

  • THE DISCIPLINE OF HEEDING

    My Utmost For His Highest What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light; and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:27. At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the…

  • MY JESUS, I LOVE THEE

    MY JESUS, I LOVE THEE An American Folk Hymn taken from Ingall’s Christian Harmony, 1805 O love the Lord, all ye saints. (Psalm 31:23) Blest be Thy love, dear Lord, that taught us this sweet way,Only to love Thee for Thyself, and for that love obey.— J. Austin Secular songs of romantic expressions abound on…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Jehoiachin was not sent away from the king’s palace with a store to last him for months, but his provision was given him as a daily pension. Herein he well pictures the happy position of all the Lord’s people. A daily portion is all that a man really wants. We do not need tomorrow’s supplies;…

  • MUST I LISTEN?

    My Utmost For His Highest And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. Exodus 20:19. We do not consciously disobey God, we simply do not heed Him. God has given us His commands; there they are, but we do not…

  • WHAT WONDROUS LOVE IS THIS

    Amazing Grace Alexander Means, 1801-1883 Anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. (Deuteronomy 21:23)Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13) Not father or mother has loved you as God has, for it was that you might be happy He gave…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    There is a blessed proportion. The Ruler of Providence bears a pair of scales—in this side he puts his people’s trials, and in that he puts their consolations. When the scale of trial is nearly empty, you will always find the scale of consolation in nearly the same condition; and when the scale of trials…

  • IS YOUR HOPE IN GOD FAINT AND DYING?

    My Utmost For His Highest Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose imagination is stayed on Thee. Isaiah 26:3 (R.V. marg.). Is your imagination stayed on God or is it starved? The starvation of the imagination is one of the most fruitful sources of exhaustion and sapping in a worker’s life. If you have…
