Daily Encounter: Childlike Faith for Monday, May 18, 2026

 Worthy Brief - May 18, 2026 You are living proof of covenant mercy! Romans 11:17-19 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,  18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in."  Paul does not flatter the Gentile believer. He tells the truth. “You, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them” [Romans 11:17]. That is mercy, but it is not flattery. A wild olive branch does not enter the cultivated tree as a source of life. It enters as a receiver. It did not grow the root. It did not carry the covenant history. It did not preserve the Scriptures. It did not birth the prophets. It did not bring forth Yeshua (Jesus). It was cut from one life and joined to another. That image wo...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: May 18th Morning “He shall sustain thee.” Psalms 55 This Psalm most clearly describes David’s condition when he had fled far away into the wilderness to escape from his son. He bitterly bewails the treachery of Ahithophel, and prophesies his doom; but his Psalm ends with most faithful and cheerful advice, which we shall all do well to follow. Psalms 55:1-23 Let us dwell a moment upon the twenty-second verse, “Thy burden,” or what thy God lays upon thee, lay thou it “upon the Lord.” His wisdom casts it on thee, it is thy wisdom to cast it on him. He gives thee thy portion of suffering, accept it with cheerful resignation, and then take it back to him with assured confidence. “He shall sustain thee.” He who ordains the burden will also ordain strength. Thy bread shall be given thee, thy waters shall be sure. Abundant nourishment shall fit thee to bear all thy labours and trials. “As thy days so shall thy strength be.” ...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for May 18 “For ye are dead” (Colossians 3:3) Now, this definite, absolute and final putting off of ourselves in an act of death, is something we cannot do ourselves. It is not self-mortifying, but it is dying with Christ. There is nothing can do it but the Cross of Christ and the Spirit of God. The church is full of half dead people who have been trying, like poor Nero, to slay themselves for years, and have not had the courage to strike the fatal blow. Oh, if they would just put themselves at Jesus’ feet, and let Him do it, there would be accomplishment and rest. On that cross He has provided for our death as well as our life, and our part is just to let His death be applied to our nature just as it has been to our old sins, and then leave it with Him, think no more about it, and count it dead, not recognizing it any longer as ourselves, but another, refusing to listen or fear it, to be identified with it, or even try to cleanse it, but countin...
