  • WHAT WONDROUS LOVE IS THIS

    Amazing Grace Alexander Means, 1801-1883 Anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. (Deuteronomy 21:23)Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13) Not father or mother has loved you as God has, for it was that you might be happy He gave…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    There is a blessed proportion. The Ruler of Providence bears a pair of scales—in this side he puts his people’s trials, and in that he puts their consolations.

  • IS YOUR HOPE IN GOD FAINT AND DYING?

    My Utmost For His Highest Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose imagination is stayed on Thee. Isaiah 26:3 (R.V. marg.). Is your imagination stayed on God or is it starved?

  • THE WONDER OF IT ALL

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by George Beverly Shea, 1909–2013 What is man that You are mindful of him, the Son of Man that You care for Him?

  • MORNING & EVENING

    A Christian should be a striking likeness of Jesus Christ. You have read lives of Christ, beautifully and eloquently written, but the best life of Christ is his living biography, written out in the words and actions of his people. If we were what we profess to be, and what we should be, we should…

  • IS YOUR IMAGINATION OF GOD STARVED?

    My Utmost For His Highest Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things. Isaiah 40:26. The people of God in Isaiah’s day had starved their imagination by looking on the face of idols, and Isaiah made them look up at the heavens; that is, he made them begin to use…

  • AND COULD IT BE THAT I SHOULD GAIN?

    Amazing Grace Charles Wesley, 1707–1788 To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood … (Revelation 1:5) Can any believer contemplate the “amazing love” of Calvary without sharing the awe and wonder of Charles Wesley’s questions in today’s hymn? Written a short time after his “heart-warming” Aldersgate experience on…

  • ARE YOU EXHAUSTED SPIRITUALLY?

    My Utmost For His Highest Are you exhausted spiritually? The everlasting God … fainteth not, neither is weary. Isaiah 40:28. Exhaustion means that the vital forces are worn right out. Spiritual exhaustion never comes through sin but only through service, and whether or not you are exhausted will depend upon where you get your supplies.…

  • I AM HIS AND HE IS MINE

    Amazing Grace George Wade Robinson, 1838–1877 Your life is now hidden with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3) Spiritual maturity is a growing appreciation of God simply for who He is. Only then can we begin to revel in our eternal union with Him. This realization gives all of life a different perspective. Life takes on…

  • Morning & evening

    When David made this enquiry he had just fought the Philistines, and gained a signal victory. The Philistines came up in great hosts, but, by the help of God, David had easily put them to flight. Note, however, that when they came a second time, David did not go up to fight them without enquiring…
