    My Utmost For His Highest Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips. Isaiah 6:5. When I get into the presence of God, I do not realize that I am a sinner in an indefinite sense; I realize the concentration of sin in a particular feature of my…

  • THE INEVITABLE PENALTY

    Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the uttermost farthing. Matthew 5:26. “There is no heaven with a little of hell in it.” God is determined to make you pure and holy and right; he will not allow you to escape for one moment from…

Our personal property and…

  • 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…

  • RECEIVING ONESELF IN THE FIRES OF SORROW

    What shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? But for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify Thy name. John 12:27–29 (R.V.). My attitude as a saint to sorrow and difficulty is not to ask that they may be prevented, but to ask that I may preserve the self God created…

  • RECONCILING ONESELF TO THE FACT OF SIN

    My Utmost For His Highest This is your hour, and the power of darkness. Luke 22:53. It is not being reconciled to the fact of sin that produces all the disasters in life. You may talk about the nobility of human nature, but there is something in human nature which will laugh in the face…

  • ACQUAINTANCE WITH GRIEF

    My Utmost For His Highest A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Isaiah 53:3. We are not acquainted with grief in the way in which Our Lord was acquainted with it; we endure it, we get through it, but we do not become intimate with it. At the beginning of life we do not…
