  • MORNING & EVENING

    We are here taught the great lesson, that to get, we must give; that to accumulate, we must scatter; that to make ourselves happy, we must make others happy; and that in order to become spiritually vigorous, we must seek the spiritual good of others. In watering others, we are ourselves watered. How? Our efforts…

  • COMPLETENESS

    My Utmost For His Highest And I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28. Whenever anything begins to disintegrate your life with Jesus Christ, turn to Him at once and ask Him to establish rest. Never allow anything to remain which is making the dis-peace. Take every element of disintegration as something to wrestle against, and…

  • CLEANSE ME

    J. Edwin Orr, 1912–1988 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) The inspiration of a thrilling revival in New Zealand prompted the late J. Edwin Orr to blend the 23rd and 24th verses of Psalm 139 with…

  • 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…
