CHRIST LIVETH IN ME
Daniel W. Whittle, 1840–1901 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ liveth in me. (Galatians 2:20) “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16).

MORNING & EVENING
Let us not imagine that the soul sleeps in insensibility. “Today shalt thou be with me in paradise,” is the whisper of Christ to every dying saint. They “sleep in Jesus,” but their souls are before the throne of God, praising him day and night in his temple, singing hallelujahs to him who washed them…

APPREHENDED BY GOD
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 HAVEN OF REST
Henry L. Gilmour, 1836–1920 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf.

MORNING & EVENING
This is a crafty word from the lip of the arch-tyrant Pharaoh. If the poor bondaged Israelites must needs go out of Egypt, then he bargains with them that it shall not be very far away; not too far for them to escape the terror of his arms, and the observation of his spies. After…

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…

NO ONE EVER CARED FOR ME LIKE JESUS
Words and Music by Charles F. Weigle, 1871–1966 … Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night? (Job 35:10) It is not difficult to sing when all is going well. But often God gives a special song to one of his hurting children during the night times of their life. Believers find…
