  • A CHILD OF THE KING

    Amazing Grace Harriett E. Buell, 1834–1910 We are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory. (Romans 8:16, 17) As children of the heavenly kingdom, we should learn to…

  • Morning & Evening

    Christ Jesus is joined unto his people in marriage-union. In love he espoused his Church as a chaste virgin, long before she fell under the yoke of bondage. Full of burning affection he toiled, like Jacob for Rachel, until the whole of her purchase-money had been paid, and now, having sought her by his Spirit,…

  • ‘TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS

    Amazing Grace Louisa M. R. Stead, c. 1850–1917 That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ. (Ephesians 1:12 KJV) Out of one of the darkest hours of her life—the tragic drowning of her husband—a young mother proclaimed through her tears, “ ’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus ……

  • Morning & Evening

    Canst thou answer this, believer? Canst thou find any reason why thou art so often mourning instead of rejoicing? Why yield to gloomy anticipations? Who told thee that the night would never end in day? Who told thee that the sea of circumstances would ebb out till there should be nothing left but long leagues…

  • SWEETLY RESTING

    Amazing Grace Mary D. James, 1810–1883 For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. (Psalm 27:5) Once my hands were always trying,Trying hard to do my best;Now my heart is sweetly trusting,And…

  • Morning & Evening

    Oh! what enlightenment, what joys, what consolation, what delight of heart is experienced by that man who has learned to feed on Jesus, and on Jesus alone.

  • LEAVE IT THERE

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Charles A. Tindley, 1851–1933 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God. (Psalm 42:5) “Put all your troubles in a sack, take ’em to the Lord, and leave ’em…

  • Morning & Evening

    God’s great design in all his works is the manifestation of his own glory. Any aim less than this were unworthy of himself. But how shall the glory of God be manifested to such fallen creatures as we are? Man’s eye is not single, he has ever a side glance towards his own honour, has…

  • ALL YOUR ANXIETY

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Edward Henry Joy, 1871-1941 Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7) Upon the Lord your burden cast,To Him bring all your care;He will sustain and hold you fast,And give thee strength to bear.— Unknown Worry, anxiety, and depression have been the subjects…

  • Morning & Evening

    The camp of Dan brought up the rear when the armies of Israel were on the march. The Danites occupied the hindmost place, but what mattered the position, since they were as truly part of the host as were the foremost tribes; they followed the same fiery cloudy pillar, they ate of the same manna,…
