  • MORNING & EVENING

    All the strength supplied to us by our gracious God is meant for service, not for wantonness or boasting. When the prophet Elijah found the cake baked on the coals, and the cruse of water placed at his head, as he lay under the juniper tree, he was no gentleman to be gratified with dainty…

  • THE VISION AND THE VERITY

    My Utmost For His Highest Called to be saints. 1 Cor. 1:2. Thank God for the sight of all you have never yet been. You have had the vision, but you are not there yet by any means. It is when we are in the valley, where we prove whether we will be the choice…

  • I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY

    A. Catherine Hankey, 1834–1911 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Angels are the unseen attendants of the saints of God; they bear us up in their hands, lest we dash our foot against a stone. Loyalty to their Lord leads them to take a deep interest in the children of his love; they rejoice over the return of the prodigal to his father’s house below,…

  • THE SPHERE OF HUMILIATION

    My Utmost For His Highest If Thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Mark 9:22. After every time of exaltation we are brought down with a sudden rush into things as they are, where it is neither beautiful nor poetic nor thrilling. The height of the mountain top is measured…

  • RESCUE THE PERISHING

    Fanny J. Crosby, 1820–1915 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives … (Isaiah 61:1 KJV) One of the most tragic words in our vocabulary is…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Our hope in Christ for the future is the mainspring and the mainstay of our joy here. It will animate our hearts to think often of heaven, for all that we can desire is promised there. Here we are weary and toilworn, but yonder is the land of rest where the sweat of labour shall…
