  • ONE OF GOD’S GREAT DON’TS

    My Utmost For His Highest Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil doing. Psalm 37:8 (R.V.). Fretting means getting out at elbows mentally or spiritually. It is one thing to say ‘Fret not,’ but a very different thing to have such a disposition that you find yourself able not to fret. It sounds so…

  • THE CONCENTRATION OF PERSONAL SIN

    My Utmost For His Highest Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips. Isaiah 6:5. When I get into the presence of God, I do not realize that I am a sinner in an indefinite sense; I realize the concentration of sin in a particular feature of my…

  • THE INEVITABLE PENALTY

    Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the uttermost farthing. Matthew 5:26. “There is no heaven with a little of hell in it.” God is determined to make you pure and holy and right; he will not allow you to escape for one moment from…

  • DO IT NOW

    My Utmost For His Highst Agree with thine adversary quickly. Matthew 5:25. Jesus Christ is laying down this principle—Do what you know you must do, now, and do it quickly; if you do not, the inevitable process will begin to work and you will have to pay to the last farthing in pain and agony…

    My Utmost For His Highest If that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended. Phil. 3:12. Never choose to be a worker; but when once God has put His call on you, woe be to you if you turn to the right hand or to the left. We are not here to…

  • THE OVERSHADOWING PERSONAL DELIVERANCE

    My Utmost For His Highest I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 1:8. God promised Jeremiah that He would deliver him personally—“Thy life will I give unto thee for a prey.” That is all God promises His children. Wherever God sends us, He will guard our lives. Our personal property and…

  • ALWAYS NOW

    My Utmost For His Highest We … beseech you that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 Cor. 6:1. The grace you had yesterday will not do for to-day. Grace is the overflowing favour of God; you can always reckon it is there to draw upon. “In much patience, in afflictions, in…

  • RECEIVING ONESELF IN THE FIRES OF SORROW

    What shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? But for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify Thy name. John 12:27–29 (R.V.). My attitude as a saint to sorrow and difficulty is not to ask that they may be prevented, but to ask that I may preserve the self God created…

  • RECONCILING ONESELF TO THE FACT OF SIN

    My Utmost For His Highest This is your hour, and the power of darkness. Luke 22:53. It is not being reconciled to the fact of sin that produces all the disasters in life. You may talk about the nobility of human nature, but there is something in human nature which will laugh in the face…
