  • ALWAYS NOW

    My Utmost For His Highest We … beseech you that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 Cor. 6:1. The grace you had yesterday will not do for to-day. Grace is the overflowing favour of God; you can always reckon it is there to draw upon. “In much patience, in afflictions, in…

  • NO ONE EVER CARED FOR ME LIKE JESUS

    Words and Music by Charles F. Weigle, 1871–1966 … Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night? (Job 35:10) It is not difficult to sing when all is going well. But often God gives a special song to one of his hurting children during the night times of their life. Believers find…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    What must be the apostate professor’s doom when his naked soul appears before God? How will he bear that voice, “Depart, ye cursed; thou hast rejected me, and I reject thee; thou hast played the harlot, and departed from me: I also have banished thee for ever from my presence, and will not have mercy…

  • RECEIVING ONESELF IN THE FIRES OF SORROW

    What shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? But for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify Thy name. John 12:27–29 (R.V.). My attitude as a saint to sorrow and difficulty is not to ask that they may be prevented, but to ask that I may preserve the self God created…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Our knowledge of Christ is somewhat like climbing one of our Welsh mountains. When you are at the base you see but little: the mountain itself appears to be but one-half as high as it really is. Confined in a little valley, you discover scarcely anything but the rippling brooks as they descend into the…

  • RECONCILING ONESELF TO THE FACT OF SIN

    My Utmost For His Highest This is your hour, and the power of darkness. Luke 22:53. It is not being reconciled to the fact of sin that produces all the disasters in life. You may talk about the nobility of human nature, but there is something in human nature which will laugh in the face…

  • SATISFIED

    Clara Tear Williams, 1858–1937 For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. (Psalm 107:9) The lie of the secularist is the notion that contentment in life is dependent upon material possessions. The going expression is “if I only had just a little more.” One of the important lessons that we should…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    It is fondly imagined by some that it must have involved very special privileges to have been the mother of our Lord, because they supposed that she had the benefit of looking into his very heart in a way in which we cannot hope to do. There may be an appearance of plausibility in the…

  • ACQUAINTANCE WITH GRIEF

    My Utmost For His Highest A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Isaiah 53:3. We are not acquainted with grief in the way in which Our Lord was acquainted with it; we endure it, we get through it, but we do not become intimate with it. At the beginning of life we do not…

  • I’D RATHER HAVE JESUS

    Mrs. Rhea F. Miller, 1894–1966 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. (Philippians 1:21) The inspiring and challenging words of this hymn, written by Mrs. Rhea Miller, so influenced 23–year-old George Beverly Shea that they determined the direction of his entire life. As he began to compose a melody for…
