  • MORNING & EVENING

    Among all the saints whose lives are recorded in Holy Writ, David possesses an experience of the most striking, varied, and instructive character. In his history we meet with trials and temptations not to be discovered, as a whole, in other saints of ancient times, and hence he is all the more suggestive a type…

  • SELF CONSCIOUSNESS

    My Utmost For His Highest Come unto Me. Matthew 11:28. God means us to live a fully-orbed life in Christ Jesus, but there are times when that life is attacked from the outside, and we tumble into a way of introspection which we thought had gone. Self-consciousness is the first thing that will upset the…

  • O FOR A CLOSER WALK WITH GOD

    William Cowper, 1731–1800 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. (Colossians 2:6) The Christian life begins with a step of faith for salvation. Then it continues step by step…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Christ’s reign in his Church is that of a shepherd-king. He has supremacy, but it is the superiority of a wise and tender shepherd over his needy and loving flock; he commands and receives obedience, but it is the willing obedience of the well-cared-for sheep, rendered joyfully to their beloved Shepherd, whose voice they know…

  • HAVE YOU EVER BEEN EXPRESSIONLESS WITH SORROW?

    My Utmost For His Highest And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. Luke 18:23. The rich young ruler went away expressionless with sorrow; he had not a word to say. He had no doubt as to what Jesus said, no debate as to what it meant, and it…

  • MAY THE MIND OF CHRIST, MY SAVIOR

    Kate B. Wilkinson, 1859–1928 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 2:5) In the home Christ-likeness is kindness;In business it is honesty;Toward the weak it is burden bearing;Toward the sinner it is evangelism;Toward ourselves it is self-control;Toward God it is reverence, love and worship.— Unknown Each day our prayer…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    In this account the faces of the Lord’s people were covered with shame, for it was a terrible thing that men should intrude into the Holy Place reserved for the priests alone. Everywhere about us we see like cause for sorrow. How many ungodly men are now educating with the view of entering into the…

  • ARE YOU DISCOURAGED IN DEVOTION?

    My Utmost For His Highest Yet lackest thou one thing; sell all that thou hast … and come, follow Me. Luke 18:22. “And when he heard this …” Have you ever heard the Master say a hard word? If you have not, I question whether you have heard Him say anything. Jesus Christ says a…

  • I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

    Annie S. Hawks, 1835–1918Refrain added by Robert Lowry In the day of my trouble I will call to You, for You will answer me. (Psalm 86:7) This deeply personal hymn came from the heart of a busy housewife and mother who had no idea of the spiritual strength that her own hastily written words would…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Meditate a little on this mercy of the Lord. It is tender mercy. With gentle, loving touch, he healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He is as gracious in the manner of his mercy as in the matter of it. It is great mercy. There is nothing little in God; his…
