  • MORNING & EVENING

    Jacob, while expostulating with Laban, thus describes his own toil, “This twenty years have I been with thee. That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee: I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. Thus I was; in the…

  • IT IS FINISHED

    My Utmost For His Highest I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do. John 17:4. The death of Jesus Christ is the performance in history of the very mind of God. There is no room for looking on Jesus Christ as a martyr; His death was not something that happened to Him…

  • GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

    Thomas O. Chisholm, 1866–1960 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your Faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22, 23) One of the important lessons the Children of Israel had to learn during their wilderness journey was that God’s provision of manna for them…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    All that the believer has must come from Christ, but it comes solely through the channel of the Spirit of grace. Moreover, as all blessings thus flow to you through the Holy Spirit, so also no good thing can come out of you in holy thought, devout worship, or gracious act, apart from the sanctifying…

  • THE FORGIVENESS OF GOD

    My Utmost For His Highest In whom we have … the forgiveness of sins. Eph. 1:7. Beware of the pleasant view of the Fatherhood of God—God is so kind and loving that of course He will forgive us. That sentiment has no place whatever in the New Testament. The only ground on which God can…

  • MY REDEEMER

    Philip P. Bliss, 1838–1876 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. (Ephesians 1:7, 8) The text for “My Redeemer,” though a joyful note of praise, was found in the wreckage of a…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Observe how positively the prophet speaks. He doth not say, “I hope, I trust, I sometimes think, that God hath pleaded the causes of my soul”; but he speaks of it as a matter of fact not to be disputed. “Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul.” Let us, by the aid of the…

  • WHEN HE IS COME

    My Utmost For His Highest And when He is come, He will convict the world of sin.… John 16:8 (R.V.). Very few of us know anything about conviction of sin; we know the experience of being disturbed because of having done wrong things; but conviction of sin by the Holy Ghost blots out every relationship…

  • HIS LOVING KINDNESS

    Samuel Medley, 1738–1799 How priceless is Your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of Your wings. (Psalm 36:7) A Christian should never lose his reason for singing about the Lord and His constant loving kindness. “His praise should continually be in our mouths” (Psalm 34:1). Loving kindness has…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Our days are few, and are far better spent in doing good, than in disputing over matters which are, at best, of minor importance. The old schoolmen did a world of mischief by their incessant discussion of subjects of no practical importance; and our Churches suffer much from petty wars over abstruse points and unimportant…
