  • VISION

    My Utmost For His Highest I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision. Acts 26:19. If we lose the vision, we alone are responsible, and the way we lose the vision is by spiritual leakage. If we do not run our belief about God into practical issues, it is all up with the vision God…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Beware of light thoughts of sin. At the time of conversion, the conscience is so tender, that we are afraid of the slightest sin. Young converts have a holy timidity, a godly fear lest they should offend against God. But alas! very soon the fine bloom upon these first ripe fruits is removed by the…

  • HAVE A MESSAGE AND BE ONE

    My Utmost For His Highest Preach the word. 2 Tim. 4:2. We are not saved to be “channels only,” but to be sons and daughters of God. We are not turned into spiritual mediums, but into spiritual messengers; the message must be part of ourselves. The Son of God was His own message, His words…

  • SHEPHERD OF EAGER YOUTH

    Amazing Grace Clement of Alexandria, c. 170–c. 220Translated by Henry Martyn Dexter, 1821–1890 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them!” (Ecclesiastes 12:1) Someone cried, “Where must the seed be sown to bring the…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    “Moab settled on his lees, he hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel.” Give a man wealth; let his ships bring home continually rich freights; let the winds and waves appear to be his servants to bear his vessels across the bosom of the mighty deep; let his lands yield abundantly: let the weather…

  • THE TIME OF RELEASE

    My Utmost For His Highest Will ye also go away? John 6:67. A penetrating question. Our Lord’s words come home most when He talks in the most simple way. We know Who Jesus is, but in spite of that He says—“Will ye also go away?” We have to maintain a venturing attitude toward Him all…

  • THE LORD’S MY SHEPHERD

    Amazing Grace Scottish Psalter, 1650 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow Me. (John 10:27) I will commit my way, O Lord, to Thee, nor doubt Thy love, though dark the way may be; Nor murmur, for the sorrow is from God, and there is comfort even in Thy rod.—…

  • THE LORD’S MY SHEPHERD

    The superlative beauty of Jesus is all-attracting; it is not so much to be admired as to be loved. He is more than pleasant and fair, he is lovely. Surely the people of God can fully justify the use of this golden word, for he is the object of their warmest love, a love founded…

  • THE RELINQUISHED LIFE

    My Utmost For His Highest I am crucified with Christ. Gal. 2:20. No one is ever united with Jesus Christ until he is willing to relinquish not sin only, but his whole way of looking at things. To be born from above of the Spirit of God means that we must let go before we…
