  • MORNING & EVENING

    Where lies the secret strength of faith? It lies in the food it feeds on; for faith studies what the promise is—an emanation of divine grace, an overflowing of the great heart of God; and faith says, “My God could not have given this promise, except from love and grace; therefore it is quite certain…

  • VISION AND REALITY

    My Utmost For His Highest And the parched ground shall become a pool. Isaiah 35:7. We always have visions before a thing is made real. When we realize that although the vision is real, it is not real in us, then is the time that Satan comes in with his temptations, and we are apt…

  • SWEET PEACE, THE GIFT OF GOD’S LOVE

    Words and Music by Peter P. Bilhorn, 1865–1936 Great peace have they who love Your law, and nothing can make them stumble. (Psalm 119:165) The blessing of peace is the one prize that often eludes those who seem to have attained everything else in life. Yet peace is one of the choice gifts left to…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Divine love is rendered conspicuous when it shines in the midst of judgments.

When the Israelites provoked the…

(Isaiah 48:18) Our gift of salvation includes more than pardon from sin, deliverance from hell, and a guarantee to heaven. It includes everything we need to…

  • DON’T CALCULATE WITHOUT GOD

    My Utmost For His Highest Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5. Don’t calculate without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the things we have calculated on without taking Him into account. We get into circumstances which were not…

  • PEACE, PERFECT PEACE

    Edward H. Bickersteth, 1825–1906 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. (John 16:33) The quest for inner calm and peace has been a universal struggle for mankind throughout the ages. Even for those…

    We are very apt to regard the apostolic saints as if they were “saints” in a more especial manner than the other children of God. All are “saints” whom God has called by His grace, and sanctified by His Spirit; but we are apt to look upon the apostles as extraordinary beings, scarcely subject to…
