ARE YOU EVER DISTURBED?
My Utmost For His Highest Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you. John 14:27. There are times when our peace is based upon ignorance, but when we awaken to the facts of life, inner peace is impossible unless it is received from Jesus. When Our Lord speaks peace, He makes peace,…

LIVING FOR JESUS
Thomas O. Chisholm, 1866–1960 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—which is your spiritual worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:1, 2) For the…

MORNING & EVENING
The Lord’s people delight in the covenant itself. It is an unfailing source of consolation to them so often as the Holy Spirit leads them into its banqueting house and waves its banner of love. They delight to contemplate the antiquity of that covenant, remembering that before the day-star knew its place, or planets ran…

THE FRUITFULNESS OF FRIENDSHIP
My Utmost For His Highest I have called you friends. John 15:15. We never know the joy of self-sacrifice until we abandon in every particular. Self-surrender is the most difficult thing—‘I will if …!’ ‘Oh well, I suppose I must devote my life to God.’ There is none of the joy of self-sacrifice in that.…

TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE
Frances R. Havergal, 1836–1879 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

THE SPIRITUAL INDEX
My Utmost For His Highest Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Matthew 7:9. The illustration of prayer that Our Lord uses here is that of a good child asking for a good thing. We talk about prayer as if God heard us…

O TO BE LIKE THEE
Thomas O. Chisholm, 1866–1960 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10) Great Master, teach us with Your skillful hand;Let not the music that is in us die!Great Sculptor, hew and polish us; nor letHidden and lost, Your form…

MORNING & EVENING
Inasmuch as Jesus has gone before us, things remain not as they would have been had he never passed that way. He has conquered every foe that obstructed the way. Cheer up now thou faint-hearted warrior. Not only has Christ travelled the road, but he has slain thine enemies. Dost thou dread sin? He has…

PRAYER CHOICE AND PRAYER CONFLICT
My Utmost For His Highest When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and pray to thy Father which is in secret. Matthew 6:6. Jesus did not say—‘Dream about thy Father in secret,’ but ‘pray to thy Father in secret.’ Prayer is an effort of will. After we have entered our secret place and have shut…
