  • SOMETHING MORE ABOUT HIS WAYS

    My Utmost For His Highest He comes where He commands us to leave. When Jesus had made an end of commanding His disciples, He departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. Matthew 11:1. If when God said ‘Go,’ you stayed, because you were so concerned about your people at home, you robbed…

  • I AM THINE, O LORD

    Fanny J. Crosby, 1820–1915 Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith. (Hebrews 10:22) Each new day requires a fresh renewal of our dedication to the Lord. The strongest of Christians can be drawn away by the pressures of daily living. And we are vulnerable to the lusts…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Downcast and troubled Christian, come and glean to-day in the broad field of promise. Here are abundance of precious promises, which exactly meet thy wants. Take this one: “He will not break the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax.” Doth not that suit thy case? A reed, helpless, insignificant, and weak, a bruised reed,…

  • TILL YOU ARE ENTIRELY HIS

    My Utmost For His Highest Let your endurance be a finished product, so that you may be finished and complete, with never a defect. James 1:4 (Moffatt). Many of us are all right in the main, but there are some domains in which we are slovenly. It is not a question of sin, but of…

  • I’VE GOT PEACE LIKE A RIVER

    Spiritual The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace. (Psalm 29:11) Not merely in the words you say,Not merely in your deeds confessed,But in the most unconscious wayIs Christ expressed. And from your eyes He beckons me,And from your heart His love is shed,Till I lose sight of you…

  • THE DISCIPLINE OF DISILLUSIONMENT

    My Utmost For His Highest Jesus did not commit Himself unto them … for He knew what was in man. John 2:24–25 . Disillusionment means that there are no more false judgments in life. To be undeceived by disillusionment may leave us cynical and unkindly severe in our judgment of others, but the disillusionment which…

  • I KNOW I’LL SEE JESUS SOME DAY

    Avis B. Christiansen, 1895–1985 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. (Colossians 3:4) Lord, we wait for Thine appearing;“Even so,” Thy people say;Bright the prospect is, and cheering,Of beholding Thee that day.— Thomas Kelly Heaven is not an invention of the human imagination. It is as…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    It has been thought by some that as long as Peter lived, the fountain of his tears began to flow whenever he remembered his denying his Lord. It is not unlikely that it was so, for his sin was very great, and grace in him had afterwards a perfect work. This same experience is common…

  • WHAT DO YOU SEE IN YOUR CLOUDS?

    My Utmost For His Highest Behold, He cometh with clouds. Rev. 1:7. In the Bible clouds are always connected with God. Clouds are those sorrows or sufferings or providences, within or without our personal lives, which seem to dispute the rule of God. It is by those very clouds that the Spirit of God is…

  • AFTER THE SUNSET

    Virgil P. Brock, 1887–1978 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. (1 Corinthians 13:12) The ability to see “beyond the sunset”—to anticipate the glories of God’s tomorrow—enables a…
