  • PRAYER IN THE FATHER’S HEARING

    My Utmost For His Highest Father, I thank Thee that thou hast heard Me. John 11:41. When the Son of God prays, He has only one consciousness, and that consciousness is of His Father. God always hears the prayers of His Son, and if the Son of God is formed in me the Father will…

  • TAKE THE WORLD, BUT GIVE ME JESUS

    Fanny J. Crosby, 1820–1915 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36, 37) In every believer there is a constant struggle between the old nature, which is attracted to the world, and the new…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Yonder in the better world, the inhabitants are independent of all creature comforts. They have no need of raiment; their white robes never wear out, neither shall they ever be defiled. They need no medicine to heal diseases, “for the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick.” They need no sleep to recruit their frames—they…

  • PRAYER IN THE FATHER’S HONOR

    My Utmost For His Highest That holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Luke 1:35. If the Son of God is born into my mortal flesh, is His holy innocence and simplicity and oneness with the Father getting a chance to manifest itself in me? What was…

  • TEACH ME THY WAY, O LORD

    Words and Music by ManseIl Ramsey, 1849–1923 Teach me your way, O Lord; lead me in a straight path. (Psalm 27:11) I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.— Martin Luther I thank God for my handicaps,…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    See the spider’s web, and behold in it a most suggestive picture of the hypocrite’s religion. It is meant to catch his prey: the spider fattens himself on flies, and the Pharisee has his reward. Foolish persons are easily entrapped by the loud professions of pretenders, and even the more judicious cannot always escape. Philip…

  • PRAYER IN THE FATHER’S HOUSE

    My Utmost For His Highest Wist ye not that I must be in My Father’s house? Luke 2:49 (R.V.). Our Lord’s childhood was not immature manhood: our Lord’s childhood is an eternal fact. Am I a holy innocent child of God by identification with my Lord and Saviour? Do I look upon life as being…

  • I WANT A PRINCIPLE WITHIN

    Charles Wesley, 1707–1788 So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man. (Acts 24:16) Order my footsteps by Thy Word,And make my heart sincere;Let sin have no dominion, Lord,But keep my conscience clear.— Unknown The Bible has much to say about the importance of a Christian having a strong “inner man”…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Believers love Jesus with a deeper affection then they dare to give to any other being. They would sooner lose father and mother then part with Christ. They hold all earthly comforts with a loose hand, but they carry him fast locked in their bosoms. They voluntarily deny themselves for his sake, but they are…

  • THE CROSS IN PRAYER

    My Utmost For His Highest At that day ye shall ask in My name. John 16:26. We are too much given to thinking of the Cross as something we have to get through; we get through it only in order to get into it. The Cross stands for one thing only for us—a complete and…
