  • WHEREBY SHALL I KNOW

    My Utmost For His Highest I thank Thee, O Father, … because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Matthew 11:25. In spiritual relationships we do not grow step by step, we are either there or we are not. God does not cleanse us more and…

  • WORK, FOR THE NIGHT IS COMING

    Annie L. Coghill, 1836–1907 As long as it is day, we must do the work of Him who sent Me. Night is coming when no one can work. (John 9:4) Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Revolve in your mind that wondrous word, “faultless!” We are far off from it now; but as our Lord never stops short of perfection in his work of love, we shall reach it one day. The Saviour who will keep his people to the end, will also present them at last to himself, as “a…

  • PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER

    My Utmost For His Highest Yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. Romans 6:13–22 . I cannot save and sanctify myself; I cannot atone for sin; I cannot redeem the world; I cannot make right what is wrong, pure what is impure, holy what is unholy. That is all the sovereign work of God.…

  • YE CHRISTIAN HERALDS

    Bourne H. Draper, 1775–1843 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “your God reigns!” (Isaiah 52:7) Many of us are often guilty of taking our pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders for granted. Seldom do…

  • THE EXCLUSIVENESS OF CHRIST

    My Utmost For His Highest Come unto Me. Matthew 11:28. Is it not humiliating to be told that we must come to Jesus! Think of the things we will not come to Jesus Christ about. If you want to know how real you are, test yourself by these words—“Come unto Me.” In every degree in…

  • ARE YE ABLE? SAID THE MASTER

    Earl Marlatt, 1892–1976 Can you drink the cup I am going to drink? (Matthew 20:22) A Christian is a person who, when getting to the end of his/her rope, ties a knot and determines to hang on, realizing that human extremity now becomes God’s opportunity.—Unknown The mission for each Christian is to proclaim and live…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Mark the grand characteristic of true prayer—“In the Holy Ghost.” The seed of acceptable devotion must come from heaven’s storehouse. Only the prayer which comes from God can go to God. We must shoot the Lord’s arrows back to him. That desire which he writes upon our heart will move his heart and bring down…

  • RECONCILIATION

    My Utmost For His Highest For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Cor. 5:21. Sin is a fundamental relationship; it is not wrong doing, it is wrong being, deliberate and emphatic independence of God. The Christian…

  • STAND UP AND BLESS THE LORD

    James Montgomery, 1771–1854 Stand up and praise the Lord your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting. (Nehemiah 9:5) Many excellent opportunities to witness for the Lord are lost each day simply because of our timidity. Or perhaps we are with a group of colleagues when the Lord’s name is blasphemed, the gospel derided, the…
