  • WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?

    My Utmost For His Highest Look unto Me, and be ye saved. Isaiah 45:22. Do we expect God to come to us with His blessings and save us? He says—‘Look unto Me, and be saved.’ The great difficulty spiritually is to concentrate on God, and it is His blessings that make it difficult. Troubles nearly…

  • JESUS SAVES

    Amazing Grace Priscilla J. Owens, 1829–1907 Sing to the Lord, praise His name; proclaim His salvation day after day. Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples. (Psalm 96:2, 3) The heart of the Christian gospel is a person, not a church or a system of doctrinal interpretation. To evangelize is…

  • Morning & Evening

    These words are for the humbling of God’s people; they are called God’s vine, but what are they by nature more than others? They, by God’s goodness, have become fruitful, having been planted in a good soil; the Lord hath trained them upon the walls of the sanctuary, and they bring forth fruit to his…

  • RECALL WHAT GOD REMEMBERS

    My Utmost For His Highest I remember … the kindness of thy youth. Jeremiah 2:2. Am I as spontaneously kind to God as I used to be, or am I only expecting God to be kind to me? Am I full of the little things that cheer His heart over me, or am I whimpering…

  • STILL, STILL WITH THEE

    Amazing Grace Harriet B. Stowe, 1812–1896 Morning by morning, O Lord, You hear my voice; morning by morning I lay my requests before You and wait in expectation. (Psalm 5:3) “How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God!… When I awake, I am still with Thee”. This was the phrase that inspired Harriet Beecher…

  • Morning & Evening

    Then Moses sang at the Red Sea, it was his joy to know that all Israel were safe. Not a drop of spray fell from that solid wall until the last of God’s Israel had safely planted his foot on the other side the flood. That done, immediately the floods dissolved into their proper place…

  • ARE YOU FRESH FOR EVERYTHING?

    My Utmost For His Highest Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3. Sometimes we are fresh for a prayer meeting but not fresh for cleaning boots!Being born again of the Spirit is an unmistakable work of God, as mysterious as the wind, as surprising as God Himself.…

  • DEAR LORD AND FATHER OF MANKIND

    Amazing Grace John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807–1892 In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength. (Isaiah 30:15) So often in our modern lives we attack our problems with frantic and hurried activity, creating unnecessary stress for ourselves. We easily forget that our heavenly Father can assist us in meeting our…

  • Morning & Evening

    As a shepherd Abel sanctified his work to the glory of God, and offered a sacrifice of blood upon his altar, and the Lord had respect unto Abel and his offering. This early type of our Lord is exceedingly clear and distinct. Like the first streak of light which tinges the east at sunrise, it…

  • VISION AND DARKNESS

    My Utmost For His Highest An horror of great darkness fell upon him. Genesis 15:12. Whenever God gives a vision to a saint, He puts him, as it were, in the shadow of His hand, and the saint’s duty is to be still and listen. There is a darkness which comes from excess of light,…
